MLB: Adenhart funeral planned for Friday in Maryland

Associated Press

WILLIAMSPORT, Md. — A funeral home says a memorial service for Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart will be held Friday at Williamsport High School, where Adenhart played as a teen.

Scott Osborne of Osborne Funeral Home said Tuesday that the 7 p.m. ceremony will be closed to news media at the family's request.

The 22-year-old rookie and two friends were killed Thursday when a driver whom police say was drunk ran a red light and hit their car in Fullerton, Calif.

Twenty-two-year-old Andrew Thomas Gallo, of San Gabriel, Calif., has been charged with three counts of murder in the deaths of Adenhart, 20-year-old driver Courtney Stewart of Diamond Bar, Calif., and 25-year-old passenger Henry Pearson of Manhattan Beach, Calif.
