ADA - The host Ada baseball team rallied for a late run and had the bases loaded with none out in the seventh, but ended up on the short end of a 3-2 score vs. Arcadia on a warm and wind-swept Tuesday evening in their home opener.

Ada dropped to 1-1 with the disappointing defeat, while Arcadia improved to 1-2    with the victory. 

After two scoreless innings, the Bulldogs took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third frame.

Sophomore Jacob Sutherly doubled, stole third and continued to race home when the catcher's throw sailed into left field.
