Former Chancellor outfielder Bryan Petersen was called up by the Florida Marlins today from triple-A New Orleans and will join the club in Washington on Friday.

 

Petersen was batting .290 with one home run and nine runs batted in for the Zephyrs. The speedy left-handed hitter enjoyed a productive spring training with the Marlins.

 

He was drafted by the Marlins in the fourth round of the June amateur draft in 2007 out of UC Irvine.

 

Petersen, 24, played on Chatsworth's national championship teams in 2003 and 2004 and on the 2002 team that reached the semifinals of the City Section playoffs. He is the first player in Tom Meusborn's reign as coach of the Chancellors to reach the major leagues.
