Durham Throws Out First Pitch At Whitecaps Game

On Tuesday, June 15th, Allen Durham represented the Tigers national champion basketball team by throwing out the first pitch at the West Michigan Whitecaps game.  The Whitecaps are a minor league team for the Detroit Tigers.  Durham was introduced to the crowd before the game and threw a strike to get the game started.  “It was a big honor to represent our team and coaches tonight”, said Durham.  “I was a little nervous but got the ball to the catcher with out bouncing it or making him jump.  I would have taken a lot of grief from my teammates if I would have thrown a bad pitch.”
