Shortly after rookie Brandin Podziemski threw out the first pitch at Oracle Park in San Francisco for a Giants game, another member of the Golden State Warriors was on a major league pitching mound.
On Thursday, Kevon Looney toed the rubber before the Milwaukee Brewers hosted the Colorado Rockies at American Family Field in Wisconsin. The Warriors center was on the field to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for his hometown baseball team.

Looney was born in Milwaukee and played high school basketball for Alexander Hamilton High in Milwaukee. He was named Wisconsin’s Mr. Basketball following his senior season at Alexander Hamilton.
With Looney in attendance, the NL Central-leading Brewers secured a victory in walk-off fashion. With the game knotted at six in the 10th inning. recent Brewers trade acquisition Mark Canha scored the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th on a throwing error from the Rockies. Ezequiel Tovar couldn’t finish the throw on a ground ball from Andruw Monasterio as Canha scurried home for the Brewers’ win, 7-6.
