The visiting Ada baseball team lost 13-0 at Leipsic in a non-conference bout Wednesday.
The Bulldog boys dropped to 8-6 with the defeat.
The Vikings seized control with six runs in the bottom of the first. Leipsic plated two runs in the second frame and five more in the third to put the game out of reach and win the run-rule shortened, five-inning game.
The lone Bulldog hits were singles by senior Austin Amburgey and junior Dylan East. East also stole two bases, while sophomore Zac Swaney walked and swiped a base.

Crystal Huffer, Ada village fiscal officer, was dismissed from her employment with the Village of Ada during action in a special council meeting held April 12.
The action resulted following a one-hour executive session by Ada council members prior to the open session of the meeting.
Council president Don Fleming moved and Jeff Oestreich seconded a motion for Huffer’s dismissal.
According to minutes from the meeting, the dismissal was “due to misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance, each of which is a group III offense as per the Village’s Policy and Procedure Manual.”
