WAYNESFIELD - The Ada baseball team went to Waynesfield-Goshen and came away with a convincing 7-2 victory in a non-conference battle Tuesday evening.

The win upped the Bulldog record to 2-3 and stopped a three-game losing skid.

Ada led 3-2 after scoring single runs in each of the first three innings. The Bulldogs lengthened their lead to 5-2 with two runs in the top of the fourth frame.

In the sixth inning, the purple and gold added two more insurance runs to put the game out of reach.

Icon Restaurant Review:
Viva Maria
124 E. Buckeye St., Ada
567-940-8482
Reviewer: Liz Gordon-Hancock

Before walking through the door of Viva Maria, all I knew about the place was that it was an Italian restaurant with big portions and huge support from both the local community and ONU campus crowd. My husband and I walked up to the restaurant around 8 p.m. on a weeknight.  

The restaurant is currently housed in the historic Ada Armory. Do not be fooled by the stark, industrial facade; this building houses a good, made-from-scratch Italian-American restaurant, beloved by both locals and students.
