NC State Graduate Abby Lampe won the Cooper Hill Cheese Roll in England for the 2nd time back at the end of last month. Today, she threw out the ceremonial 1st pitch at the Durham Bulls game, but she added her own flare. Most people simply try to get the baseball into the glove of the Catcher, but Lampe rolled the cheese to home plate first, and as it was on its way, she threw the baseball into the glove of the catcher.
That’s some serious cheese.
