Texas Drillers Assistant Coach Killed By Line Drive

There's sad news in the Texas League Baseball Community today.

Sunday night in Little Rock, Tulsa Drillers first base coach Mike Coolbaugh was killed after being hit in the head by a line drive during the ninth inning against the Arkansas Travelers.

This is video of the drillers in a recent match-up with the Springfield Cardinals here in town.

The blow at last night's game knocked Coolbaugh unconscious, and he was given CPR on the field before being taken to a Little Rock hospital, where he later died.

As a result of that accident, tonight's Drillers game has been canceled.

Coolbaugh was a former major leaguer and played with the Saint Louis Cardinals back in 2002. He was thirty-five years old.
