Boston Marathon bombing victim Heather Abbott throws out the ceremonial first pitch before the
Boston Red Sox take on the Toronto Blue Jays Saturday in Boston. BOSTON (AP) -- Heather
Abbott, the Newport woman who was injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, took to the
pitcher's mound at Fenway Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the start of
Saturday's Boston-Toronto game. Abbott had gone to Boston on April 15 to watch the Red Sox
play on Patriots' Day and was waiting in line to get into a crowded restaurant when the bombs
went off. Doctors amputated her left leg below the knee. A fundraiser has helped raise more
than $50,000 to help Abbott pay medical bills.
