Minnesota native Paige Bueckers, now in the WNBA with the Dallas Wings, threw out the first pitch at the Texas Rangers game on Thursday.

The former UConn women's basketbal l superstar threw out Wednesday's first pitch at the Texas Rangers game surrounded by her Dallas Wings teammates. Bueckers wore a custom No. 5 Rangers jersey with her name on the back as her pitch flew perfectly down the middle.

Bueckers — with her Dallas Wings teammates beside her — threw out the first pitch prior to Wednesday’s game between the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals at Globe Life Field. She tossed a strike to Rangers first base coach Corey Ragsdale and to her delight “didn’t hit the dirt.”
