McCOMB - The host McComb baseball team erupted for six runs in a wild first inning and held on for a 9-6 win over Ada Tuesday evening.

Ada fell to 3-3 with the non-league defeat.

The Bulldogs raced to an early lead by scoring three runs in the top of the first inning. But the Panthers responded by tallying six times in the home half of the first.

The Panthers then tacked on single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings to extend their lead to 9-3.

Ada rallied to plate three runs and halve the deficit in their last at bat in the top of the seventh, but the lead was too much to overcome.
