Delta College baseball coach, Reed Peters expressed sadness to KRON4 News on the tragic incident.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our delta baseball family, Calvin Riley. Calvin was loved by all those that knew him. He was a great person from a great family. A 20 year old with his best years ahead of him. He was a huge part of our team reaching the 2016 final four. He was a fun loving teammate that players loved to be around. Once he took the mound he was all business. He possessed a great arm, great curveball, and a bulldog mentality that you loved to have with the game on the line. He brought the best out in all of us. He will be truly missed but never forgotten. RIP 27″ — Reed Peters
School officials from Junipero Serra high school have spoke out about Riley and have expressed their condolences in statement made on Facebook, Sunday evening.
