Diethrick, Jr. Park one year later to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and to serve as the official batboy for the game on Friday. He was joined by his grandfather, Greg Peterson, a baseball enthusiast, Vice President of the Tarp Skunks Board of Directors, local attorney, and baseball aficionado before the start of the home baseball game.
