ADA - The host Ada baseball team beat county rival Hardin Northern 8-3 Monday evening to win its home opener handily.
Ada improved to 2-1 with the win, while HN fell to 0-1 with the loss.
Bulldog senior right-hander Connor Frazier hurled a complete game to secure the win, striking out eight and allowing just four hits in the process.
Senior first baseman Jaylin Burkhart led the Ada offense with three hits, two runs batted in and one run. Senior Ethan Hall contributed two hits and a pair of runs. Sophomore Brandon Hull added a hit and three RBI.
Three events are planned this spring at the Ohio Northern University Observatory, according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. They follow:
Apollo Career Center will hold its seventh annual Apollopalooza on April 11, 5:30-7 p.m. Apollopalooza will showcase both the high school and adult education programs, celebrate Apollo's partnerships with local businesses, highlight Career Tech opportunities, its students and instructors. The event is free and open to the public.
For over 40 years, Apollo has provided workforce development to thousands of adult and high school students. The training and programs offered, as well as the equipment and technology used, has changed dramatically since the doors opened to the first classes.

The bridge over Hog Creek on Hardin County Road 15, west of Ada, is closed until mid-June while the bridge is undergoing a rehabilitation, according to Luke Underwood of the county engineer’s office.
The project, estimated at $220,314, includes work handled by the county and U.S. Bridge of Cambridge. A portion of the cost is covered by a grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission. The U.S. Bridge portion of the project is estimated at $170,314 and the county's share is $50,000.
The bridge beams are being removed and taken to Cambridge for rehabilitation and to be galvanized. Once they are returned and replaced the county will reinstall a concrete deck.
