  • Where: Eddie West Field, 602 N. Flower Street, Santa Ana
  • When: First game starts at noon, second game starts at 1:30 p.m.
Tachias was sitting inside a patrol car with his training officer, Michael Crain Feb. 7. Dorner pulled up alongside them, shot Tachias eight times and killed Crain.

The teams raising money are the Orange County Sheriff All Stars, the Santa Ana Police Hogs, the Riverside Police Pistols and the Orange County Probation Grid Iron Girls.

Tickets are $5 each. Contact your local police station to learn how to buy tickets.
