The Ada High School softball team recorded its most important regular season win since 2018, by decisively defeating two-time defending league champion Lincolnview 12-5 in the Northwest Conference opener at the Ada Park on a chilly Thursday evening, April 6.
The undefeated Bulldogs improved to 5-0 overall and 1-0 in the NWC with the historic victory. The Lancers dropped to 2-3 and 0-1 in the NWC after the defeat.
“We had a total team effort,” said Ada second-year head coach Jeff Bassitt. “Jenna (Bassitt) settled down and came on strong after the first inning.
“It took a team effort to beat a team like Lincolnview,” he added. “Our hitting, pitching and defense were good. It was a nice win against a good team.”
The Lancers jumped in front with three runs in the top of the first inning, but Ada responded with a big four-run home half of the first to establish control and build confidence.
