Gabby Curry got to throw out the first pitch at an Atlanta Braves baseball game when she was named the Georgia high school athlete of the year before her freshman season on the Kentucky volleyball team.
Now she’s going to get a chance to do the same things for the Cincinnati Reds June 29 at Great American Ballpark when the Reds present the a trophy to the UK volleyball players and coaches for winning the national championship.
The ceremony honoring the UK volleyball team, which finished 24-1, will be at about 6:55 p.m. before the Reds host the San Diego Padres.
Curry was the SEC defensive player of the year during the national championship season.
