Watch: Sister Mary Jo’s encore first pitch did not go so well

Sister Mary Jo

Sister Mary Jo wowed fans with an impressive ceremonial first pitch prior to a Chicago White Sox game earlier this year, but her encore performance didn’t go as well.

The White Sox invited the pride of Marian Catholic to throw out the first pitch before Saturday’s White Sox-Cubs game. Just like her first pitch a month earlier, Sister Mary Jo bounced the ball off her arm before firing in her pitch. Only this time, her pitched bounced before reaching the catcher.

Sister Mary Jo had thrown a nearly perfect pitch her last time out, which led to her going viral and getting a bobblehead doll. That was a tough act to replicate.
