Wellesley 12-year-old Ben Elwy had the honor of throwing the first pitch at Friday night’s Red Sox-Yankees game at Fenway Park (he’s seen here alongside dad Sherin Elwy). The Sox actually could have used a few more throws from the middle schooler that night, as their pitchers struggled to get the Yankees out.
Elwy takes part in programs (including horse riding) at BiNA Farm, which auctioned off the first pitch prize during a recent event.
