The actress who portrayed a pitcher in the 2005 remake of "The Bad News Bears" reportedly died from injuries suffered in an apparent drunk-driving related crash in California.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Sammi Kane Kraft, 20, was a passenger in a vehicle that rear-ended a tractor-trailer about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday near the Crenshaw Boulevard exit of the Santa Monica Freeway, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
Kraft portrayed pitcher Amanda Whurlitzer in "The Bad News Bears," reprising the role made famous by Oscar-winner Tatum O'Neal.
