Solo Ball, UConn’s rising basketball star and Leesburg native, brought some serious hometown pride to Camden Yards by throwing out the first pitch before the Orioles game. Sporting a tribute to Eddie Murray, Ball kept up a cool Huskies tradition—he’s now the third UConn champ under Dan Hurley to take the mound in Baltimore. His journey from Maryland high school hoops to national champ and NBA prospect is inspiring, especially since he chose to return to UConn for another season. How do you feel about athletes keeping close ties to their roots? #Sports #UConn #Orioles
