Los Angeles Angels Postpone Thursday Game with Oakland Athletics Following Death of Nick Adenhart

The Los Angeles Angels have postponed their game with the Oakland Athletics on Thursday following the news of rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart’s death earlier in the morning.

Adenhart pitched six strong innings against the Athletics on Wednesday night and left the game with a 3-0 lead. After leaving the park after the game Adenhart was travelling with three other people in a Mitsubishi convertible shortly after midnight when a drunk driver ran a red light at a Fullerton intersection and struck their vehicle.

The 22-year-old Adenhart was killed as were two others in the vehicle and the fourth was said to be in critical condition. Police have arrested the driver of the minivan who attempted to flee the scene and ithas been reported that his blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit at the time of the accident.

Adenhart was considered the Angels top pitching prospect and while L.A. wanted to keep him in AAA for awhile he had been on the major league roster to fill in for a depleted staff.

While Thursday’s game between the Angels and Athletics has been postponed the two teams are believed to be meeting at some point during the day.
