ARCADIA - The host Arcadia baseball team scored in every inning except the second to defeat Ada 12-2 Tuesday evening.
Ada fell to 2-2 with the non-league loss.
The Redskins jumped ahead with two runs in the bottom of the first frame. Arcadia extended the margin to 6-0 with four runs in the third.
The hosts led 9-0 going to the sixth when Ada plated its two runs. But Arcadia responded with three runs in the home half of the sixth to end it via the 10-run rule.
Bulldog sophomore leadoff hitter Zac Swaney collected two hits and scored a run. Senior Austin Amburgey singled, scored a run and drove in a run.
That means that the Ada Dairy B’s is open for the season. The ice cream drive-in at 4209 State Route 235 south of Ada opened a week ago.
This season’s hours are Mondays through Saturdays 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays, noon to 9 p.m. The kitchen closes nightly at 8:30 p.m.
Ice cream comes soft served and hand-dipped as sundaes, shakes, soda floats and cyclones. The menu also includes sandwiches, hot dogs, soft drinks and several side dishes.

The Ohio Northern University Raabe College of Pharmacy has received a $404,889 grant from the National Heart Lung Blood Institute to study the impact of methamphetamine on the heart.
Boyd Rorabaugh, Ph.D., professor of pharmacology and cell biology, is principal investigator, and Manoranjan D’Souza, Ph.D., assistant professor of pharmacology, is a co-investigator on the project.
This funding will provide opportunities for more ONU students to become involved in research while enhancing understanding of the long-term impact of methamphetamine abuse.
Kevin Hines, a suicide-attempt survivor, will discuss suicide prevention at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, in the King-Horn Sports Center gymnasium at Ohio Northern University. Hines is also a renowned mental health advocate and filmmaker. The event is free and open to the public.
Two years after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Hines attempted to take his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge at the age of 19. He is one of only 34 individuals (less than 1 percent) to survive the fall and the only one to regain full physical mobility.
