Ada High School graduate Maddie Gossard played her final senior games for Heidelberg University in a doubleheader at Ohio Northern University Saturday afternoon, April 30.
The first baseman singled in three at bats in the opener. ONU swept the close twinbill, 6-3 and 2-1 in eight innings.
Heidelberg ends its season 20-16 overall and 9-9 in OAC play, good for fifth place in the 10-team league. Only the top four make it to the OAC tournament, and the 'Berg missed qualification by one win.
ONU clinched the conference regular season title with the sweep, and improved to 21-9 and 16-2 in the OAC.

The Bulldogs plated two more runs in the top of the fifth, but could get no closer the rest of the way.
The sixth annual Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival (Aug. 27), coordinated by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, has announced several key sponsorships by area businesses, including a major gift by a business still in development.
