Lester White was hoping to get a win as he hit a milestone as the head coach of the Mountain Home Lockeroom American Legion baseball team. White coach his 1,800th game with the Lockeroom as they played their second game in the Glen Winget Memorial Tournament Friday in Bartlesville, Okla., and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Three Rivers, Okla.
Cash Arnhart ended up with the loss despite a good pitching performance. He went six innings and gave up five hits, two walks and a run. Jett Hannaford led the Mountain Home offense by going 2-for-3 at the plate.
White says coaching the Lockeroom as long as he has was not something he planned.
