From the moment the ball leaves your hand until it hits the ground, its horizontal acceleration is zero and its vertical acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 downward. It makes no difference what direction you throw it.

It will slow down and fall back due to the laws of physics, (the specific law of gravity.)
