The team announced members of the University of Maryland's men's and women's basketball teams will simultaneously throw out first pitches. This is to celebrate the team's accomplishments this season.
Throwing the pitch from the men's team will be Derik Queen and Julian Reese, and from the women's team Allie Kubek and Shyanne Sellers.
Queen and Sellers will also serve as the first guest splashers in the Bird Bath Splash Zone.
