SEATTLE -- Kathleen Sutton, a new mom from Mill Creek, Wash., will serve as the Mariners 2015 Honorary Bat Girl on Mother's Day and throw out the ceremonial first pitch before Sunday's 1:10 p.m. PT game against the A's at Safeco Field.
Sutton was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, when she was pregnant last October. Before she could begin chemotherapy, an ultrasound on her unborn baby showed the cancer had spread to her liver and was Stage 4, which is considered incurable.
Sutton had one round of chemotherapy while pregnant and gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Nov.
