Video: Ohio State's Darron Lee Throws Ceremonial First Pitch at Cincinnati Reds Game

Braxton Miller threw out the ceremonial first pitch of Monday's series-opening Colorado Rockies–Cincinnati Reds game, and Darron Lee did the same thing during Wednesday's Game 3.

The Rockies took Game 1, 5-1 before the Reds bounced back, 4-3, in Tuesday's Game 2. The Reds won the series-deciding Game 3 on Wednesday too, 6-5, in front of 12,979 souls at Great American Ballpark.

Here's video of Lee's pitch to Cincinnati outfielder Billy Hamilton:

 

The @reds get the win and @themanimal_ throws out the first pitch. Coincidence? We think not.
