Sunday, April 29
at Petco Park

This year's annual Clairemont Hilltoppers trip to the Padres game promises to be tons of fun once again.

If you bought tickets for this game through your team, be sure to arrive early, as all players and coaches can participate in a pregame parade on the field at Petco. To participate, line up on 7th Avenue between K and L Streets starting at 11 a.m. Only players and coaches are allowed in the parade, and each one must have a game ticket. Parade starts at 12 noon, but anyone who wants to walk must be lined up by 11:45. See the "Handout" below this article for all the details on participating in the parade.

Then, get to your seats by 12:30, as our very own Hilltopper Jade Barth (age 11) has been selected to throw out a first pitch on Sunday! The 1 p.m. game against the New York Mets may see an appearance from a Clairemont kid, pitcher Corey Oswalt, who played many years for Clairemont Mesa Little League, Madison High School, and was just called up to the Mets on April 21.

Every Padres Sunday home game is also a Kid's Day, with special activities for kids in the Park in the Park area beyond left field. After the game, all kids 14 and under can also go down on the field to run the bases. See you there!
