After making history at the Canada Summer Games, 16-year-old Jaida Lee said throwing the first pitch at the Toronto Blue Jays home game will be the highlight she's taking forward.

Lee threw the ceremonial first pitch Saturday to start the Jays game against the Cleveland Guardians. Centre-fielder Bradley Zimmer caught the pitch behind home plate.

The Blue Jays ended up winning two to one against the Guardians. Lee told Sportsnet's Blue Jays Central this is a highlight in her hopefully long pitching career.  "Hopefully I'll keep playing.

I'd like to play my entire life, honestly, but I'd like to play college baseball going forward," Lee told host Jamie Campbell.
