SAN MARCOS, Calif. – San Marcos Youth Baseball league is preparing to return the fields where a shooting interfered with a Little League game Monday.
A stray bullet was captured on video landing dangerously close to players and since then, the league says there have been no games or practice held at Mission Sports Park.
“What do we need to do as an organization to make sure that our families are safe when they’re on site,” league president Daniel Max said.
On Saturday, players and their families will be back at the park after almost a week without play or practice. The league says there are more than 70 teams that all lost practice and at least one since the shooting happened, but they want to make Saturday a positive day.
“This big, exciting thing that when it comes Sunday, they forget about Monday," Max said.
Players and families will be greeted by local vendors, sheriff’s deputies and more.
