ADA - In a late addition to the schedule, the Ada baseball team lost 11-3 to Pandora-Gilboa on an unseasonably hot Saturday night.

The Bulldogs finished the 2021 campaign 7-15 after the non-league loss. The Rockets ended up 11-13 with the win.

P-G never trailed and plated five runs in the sixth inning to put the game out of reach and secure the season-ending victory.

The Rockets blasted ahead with two runs in the first inning, then added three more runs in the third frame to advance their lead to 5-0. 

The Bulldogs plated two runs in the home fourth inning on a single by Tyler Jameson, closing the gap to three.
