Former NABF Lightweight Champion Josesito Lopez took the mound at Dodger Stadium Sunday afternoon on Father’s Day and pitched a perfect strike that no one on the visiting Chicago White Sox would have been able to hit.
The Dodgers mounted an exciting comeback to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth inning and won the game an inning later when Dee Gordon looped a walk off single into the outfield bringing in Tony Gwynn Jr.
Prior to the his pitching debut, Lopez signed autographs and took photographs with many of his fans at the “Viva Los Dodgers” event.
The special day kicked off the official fight week for “Ortiz vs. Lopez,” which takes place on Saturday, June 23 at STAPLES Center when he takes on Victor Ortiz for the vacant WBC Silver Welterweight Championship on a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING broadcast.
