Mullen baseball has invited some special guests to its Centennial League game on Thursday at home against Cherry Creek.
Participants and families from Sports Made Possible will be aided on site by Mustangs freshman and junior-varsity players, and will be on the field for the National Anthem, according to Jeffrey Handley, father of Mullen catcher and Stanford signee Maverick Handley.
Sports Made Possible is a Denver nonprofit company that provides children and adults who have various mental and physical challenges with an opportunity to play baseball on teams in organized leagues. The company partners with Foothills Parks & Recreation District.
Mullen players volunteer for some of the Sports Made Possible games.
First pitch is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Cherry Creek is 5-4 overall, 1-3 in the Centennial. Mullen is 7-3, 5-0 and atop the league.
