Sister Linda K. Burton, general president of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, threw out the first pitch at a Los Angeles Dodgers game Friday, according to the Mormon Newsroom.

The ceremonial pitch was part of the Dodger's annual Mormon Night at Dodger Stadium on July 10, 2015. Also in attendance was Area Seventy Elder Gary Wilde and Sister Burton's husband, Craig Burton.

"Mormon Night has been held for more than 30 years, making it the longest-running community event held by the Dodger organization," reported the Mormon Newsroom.
