Doesn't "watching" imply a continuing action?  Something more in line with:
Я смотрел(а), как она бросает мяч.
or
Я смотрел(а), как она бросала мяч.
or
Я смотрел(а), как она бросила мяч.

It would depend on whether "she" was throwing the ball repeatedly, or just threw it once.

Dear Russian speakers,

How do you say "I watched her throw the ball"?
