The Mustang baseball team is organizing a golf tournament at the Reserve at Spanos Park beginning at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 as well as a Baseball Alumni Game, at noon Sunday Nov. 11, at the Nick Cecchetti Field.

The golf tournament and the alumni game allows anyone to participate and help raise money for the baseball program.

As 2011 State Champions, the baseball team wants to continue to succeed.

“Anyone who has ever played at Delta is welcomed,” said Coach Reed Peters. “Guys that played 30 years ago and guys who played last year.”

Two past players from Delta’s baseball team will be honored this year at the Alumni Weekend.

Jason Bartlett, former shortstop player for the San Diego Padres Major League Baseball team and Phil Swimley, who played for

Delta in the 1959 State Championship and is a longtime former UC Davis baseball coach.

“It helps our guys to appreciate the fact that there is a legacy here at Delta and it’s their job to continue the legacy here at Delta,” said Peters.

To help raise money one can donate through a tee sponsorship, auction item, or simply by attending the dinner.
