BERKELEY -

The California baseball program had an extremely successful Fan Fest Saturday (Feb. 11), drawing around 400 fans to enjoy the festivities and watch the 2012 Golden Bears scrimmage. Cal baseball also celebrated its outstanding 2011 season in its First Pitch Dinner Friday night at H's Lordships in front of over 300 supporters of the program.

The Gold team won the scrimmage, 6-2, outhitting the Blue team, 14-6, including junior third baseman Mitch Delfino's home run in the third inning and double in the sixth. The Blue team got its runs on a solo home run by senior Danny Oh in the third inning and sophomore Michael Theofanopoulos in the sixth inning.

"It was a great weekend for our program," said Cal coach David Esquer, the 2011 National Coach of the Year. "It was wonderful having all our supporters and alumni come back for the First Pitch Dinner and the popularity of the Fan Fest was beyond our expectations with all the well-wishers."
