Woodstown's Lee Ware became the second baseball coach in South Jersey history to win 600 games, reaching the mark Tuesday night with a 19-0 win against host Bridgeton at the John Rose Tournament.

Along with a group of former players, Ware's family from Virginia joined him to celebrate the win, which they commemorated with a postgame ceremony.

"It was a really big night," Ware said. "It was really overwhelming. I really appreciate it."

Ware, who received a cake and signed bat from his players, gave a game ball to the pitcher who got him his first win 40 years ago, Jake Lenahan.
