ADA – The Ada High School softball team scored nine first inning runs and rolled to a 17-0 romp over Blanchard Valley Conference rival Leipsic on a windswept Monday evening, April 21.
“We hit the heck out of the ball,” said Bulldog head coach Jeff Bassitt. “That is the best we have hit all year, and the best start we have had this season.”
Ada improved to 12-2 overall and 4-2 in the BVC with the five-inning blowout victory. Leipsic fell to 4-4 and 2-2 in BVC play after the lopsided defeat.
