ADA - The host Ada baseball team broke a fifth inning tie on a wild pitch and held on to defeat Cory-Rawson 2-1 in non-league action Thursday evening.
Ada improved to 3-2 with the non-league victory, while the Hornets fell to 1-2 with the loss.
With the score tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Zac Swaney doubled to right-center field. He advanced to third base on a groundout. After a strikeout, Swaney scampered home on a two-out, two-strike wild pitch to put the Bulldogs in front.
