"The mystery model riding with Yankee pitcher Carl Pavano when they slammed into a truck last month stuck up for her man yesterday, saying he did nothing wrong after the rainy crash - and can't wait for him to pitch again.
"It was a bad accident and it's unfortunate that Carl can't play ball right now, because he really wants to," stunner Gia Allemand, 22, told the Daily News outside her family's Long Island home yesterday.
"He's really passionate about baseball," the former teen beauty queen said, wearing a tight black T-shirt tucked into her jeans and oversize black sunglasses. "There are more important things we should be worrying about than this."
The hottie and the hurler were riding back from breakfast in Pavano's Porsche through a driving rainstorm when they hydroplaned across a Florida street Aug. 15 and crashed so hard into a truck that the driver first thought the two of them must have been killed.
Pavano, 30, was on a rehab assignment in Florida at the time after more than a year of injuries. He broke two ribs in the crash, but hid it from his Yankee bosses for 11 days - even pitching a game that afternoon, Allemand said.
"This is being blown out of proportion. Accidents happen every day," she said. "People are putting so much pressure on him and they're not seeing the real Carl. They're not seeing his passion for baseball, and how he was playing with injuries. They're only seeing that he didn't tell them right away."
Yes. I believe everything she says. Twice, even.
