Ontario—With the 14-year-old Babe Ruth district tournament slated to kick off today in La Grande, the goal of head coach Jim LaCrone is for his group to stop its streak of seconditis.
The Babe Ruth all-star squad has accumulated a 25-5 record so far this season, played in four tournaments and lost every one in the championship game.
LaCrone had a simple explanation when asked about the unlucky string the all-stars have run into.
