If the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates are in need of a pitcher, then they might have found one in Pitt coach Emily Boissonneault.

Last night, Boissonneault headed to PNC Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and fired a perfect strike from just in front of the rubber. Check out the full video below.

Boissonneault, the first head coach in Pitt women's lacrosse history, is readying her team for its first foray into NCAA waters this spring. The Panthers will have fall ball to prepare, as a large contingent of transfers will need to mesh before the calendar turns to February.

ALMOST TIME!

Coach @EmBoissonneault’s first pitch is coming up tonight at the @Pirates game! Good luck coach #BuildALegacy
