FanDuel TV host Kay Adams said she wanted “accuracy” when she threw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field before the Cubs-Guardians game Wednesday.
However, it didn’t go as planned for the host of the “Up & Adams” show.
Adams threw the ball near the first base line, and Chicago’s mascot, Clark the Cub, had to run after it.
The Chicago native, who sported a Henry Rowengartner jersey from the Cubs-centric movie “Rookie of the Year,” hugged Clark afterwards.
She was a good sport about it and joked with some fans on X.

Adams also dedicated her first pitch to legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker, who died in January.
Chicago went on to beat Cleveland, 5-4.
In a separate video, Adams explained that she was initially scheduled to throw the first pitch at Tuesday’s Cubs game, but she missed it after getting a call to fly to Kansas City and interview Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
“The Cubs being truly incredible were like, ‘You know what, you can do it Wednesday,'” Adams said in the video ahead of Wednesday’s game. “I was scratched last night. A little elbow soreness. I don’t know what my ERA is.

“I have no power. I have withered to bone. I just want accuracy. I’m going to stand in front of the mound.”
When it comes to bad first pitches, Adams isn’t in a club of her own.
Last month, former Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan went viral for his awful first pitch at a Cardinals game.
Lewan threw the ball near the first base on-deck circle where several people jumped out of the way.
“Juuuuuust a bit outside,” the Titans X account wrote at the time, referencing Uecker’s call from the movie “Major League.”
“My own team,” Lewan replied with a sad face emoji.
The southpaw, who called it “the worst day of my athletic career,” vowed to redeem himself.
