Washington Spirit rookie midfielder Croix Bethune, a gold medalist with the U.S. Olympic team, will miss the remainder of the NWSL season due to a knee injury suffered while throwing the first pitch at a Nationals game.
'She had a problem making the first pitch in the baseball game,' Spirit coach Jonatan Giráldez said. 'She is not going to be available this season. It is part of life. You have to keep going.'
Bethune was celebrated at the Nationals game alongside teammates before throwing her pitch, but afterwards she appeared to grimace, indicating the seriousness of her injury.
