(KMOV.com) -- Alayna Adams, 9, threw out the first pitch at Thursday night's Tampa Bay Rays baseball game in honor of her father, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army.
Alayna's father had been serving in Afghanistan.
But when Alayna threw the pitch, the catcher took off the mask and it turned out to be her father.
