Did the pitch make it there? Technically it did being that he stood one step behind the rubber.

On top of the award-winning entertainer’s first pitch, McIntosh High School students sang the National Anthem and Grammy winner Jermaine Dupri hyped up the crowd and gets the game started by shouting, “Play Ball!”
