Havasu Heat Honors Cody Treatch At Season Opener

Havasu Heat Baseball Team honored Cody Treatch Friday night with a ceremony before their season opener. Cody recently passed away due to a heat-related illness while on his second day of training as a cadet with Rural Metro Fire Department.

Firefighters from the Lake Havasu City and the Desert Hills fire departments were there to honor Treatch on the field.

Lake Havasu Marine Corps League Color Guard carried the colors and performed a flag folding ceremony. After the flag folding, it was presented to Cody’s wife, Kylee Treatch.

Following the ceremonies, Havasu Heat alumni and current players participated in a game to kick off the season.

Cody’s dad, Willie Treatch batted first in honor of his son and Kaden Twyman, Kylee’s brother, batted second.
