ADA – The Ada High School softball team kept it close most of the way but ultimately lost 11-3 to visiting Northwest Conference champion Lincolnview in a makeup game on a hot Friday evening, May 16.
The rivals, who finished one-two in the league last year, were locked in a 1-0 duel through three innings. The Lancers took control with a four-run fourth, then put the game out of reach with four more scores on two home runs in the seventh.
The deep Lancer lineup smacked four home runs to power its way to victory in a deceptive final score.
