Pirate scheduled opener vs. Leipsic was postponed due to high winds

By Cort Reynolds

LIMA – The Ada High School softball team opened its season with a convincing 13-3 victory at Lima Senior on a windy and cool Monday evening, March 24.

“We had several girls get hits, and everyone got to play,” said fourth-year Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt.

The Bulldogs plated eight runs in the third inning to break open a scoreless tie and pave a path to the win.

Ada starts out 1-0 after the non-league triumph, while LS fell to 0-1.
