SAN ANTONIO (AP) _ The Tulsa Drillers are in attendance Monday for the funeral of former first-base coach Mike Coolbaugh.

American Airlines provided a free charter to fly the team to San Antonio following Sunday night's 7-1 win at Arkansas, so the team wouldn't have to make a 10-hour bus ride before the services Monday.

Coolbaugh was killed last week when he was hit by a line drive while coaching first base in a game at Arkansas.
