ARLINGTON__The visiting Ada High School softball team soundly defeated Arlington 15-0 in a Blanchard Valley Conference blowout on Wednesday, April 15.
The Bulldog girls tallied seven runs in the top of the first inning and cruised to victory. Ada scored three runs in the third, and then tacked on five more in the fifth frame to enact the 10-run mercy rule.
Ada improved to 11-1 overall and 3-1 in the BVC with their second road win in two tries. The Bulldogs are 9-1 at home.
Arlington fell to 1-7 and 1-2 in BVC play after the lopsided five-inning loss.

During the mid-19th century around the 1840s, the idiom “full of beans” was noted. The idiom referred to a high-energy state in horses after they were fed beans. This was a common practice to feed horses beans in Europe and the United Kingdom to add stamina to the diet of working horses. The idiom was then used to describe people with a lot of energy. During the 20th century, the term in the United States evolved to describe someone who was talking nonsense or lying. They were just full of beans!

The Bulldog netters fell to 0-2 after the loss.
