The league will honor Sgts. Mark Dunakin, Ervin Romans, Daniel Sakai and Officer John Hege. Police said they were killed by 26-year-old Oakland resident Lovelle Mixon, an ex-felon who was wanted on a no-bail warrant for allegedly violating his parole by failing to meet with his parole officer.
The incident began when Dunakin and Hege made a traffic stop on Mixon at 74th Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard shortly after 1 p.m. that day.
Mixon was killed at the end of his confrontation with police.
The baseball players commenced Sunday's 9 a.m. game at Northgate Park with a minute of silence, a tradition they will repeat before each game throughout the season.
The league consists of two divisions forming 20 teams with high school and college level players.
