Petty Officer 1st Class Tara Dodd (center), a culinary specialist aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Swordfish in Port Angeles, poses for a photo with the Mariners player who acted as her catcher as part of a commemorative first pitch during the opening ceremony for the Mariners' 15th Annual Salute to Armed Forces Night at Safeco Field in Seattle, April 15th, 2017.
Service members were selected to throw the first pitch for their respective branch due to their distinguished work, with Dodd recently awarded the title of Coast Guard 13th District Enlisted Person of the Year for her work throughout 2016.
