ADA - The host Ada softball team built an eight-run lead then staved off a late comeback to defeat spunky county rival Hardin Northern 11-9 in a first round Div. IV sectional slugfest Monday evening.

Ada improved to 11-11 this season with the wild tournament win, while HN fell to 1-16-1 with the loss. The Lady Bulldogs advance to the tournament's second round May 13 at Wayne Trace.

"I think we came out strong and got on top," said Ada head coach Rebecca Dicke. "Then the momentum shifted, and we had to really work through it and make some defensive plays to win. Those momentum shifts can be deadly."
