AKRON, Ohio -- A youth baseball coach convicted of assault in the beating death of another man was sentenced Monday.

Richard Haught, of Cuyahoga Falls, was found guilty on Friday of assault, but was acquitted on involuntary manslaughter charges.

Haught's sentence of six months in jail has been suspended. He has been ordered to serve 60 days in the Oriana House, an agency that helps people overcome drug addiction.

Haught was accused of beating Robert Abrams with a baseball bat during a tournament last July. The beating, which was prompted by a fight over a $5 parking fee, led to Abrams' death.
