BRADENTON -- Lakewood Ranch resident and acclaimed ESPN basketball announcer Dick Vitale took a break from March Madness to throw out the ceremonial first pitch before today's game between the Twins and Pirates at McKechnie Field.
The game-time temperature was 61 degrees as a cold front swept through central Florida on Monday night.
The Pirates hope for warmer weather Wednesday when they play host to the Tigers at McKechnie Field. The game starts at 1:05 p.m. Zach Duke is expected to start for Pittsburgh against Dontrelle Willis in a match-up of left-handers.
