Ada head baseball coach Jason Campbell and head softball coach Rebecca Dicke organized a special memorial game for recently deceased 2020 Bulldog senior pitcher Alex Sweigart at the park Sunday afternoon.

A good crowd turned out on a sunny, warm day for the contest between the Ada high school baseball and softball squads. 

Sweigart gamely battled back from back surgery that caused him to miss his junior season, and was ready to resume pitching this spring before the season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
