ADA - The Ada softball team rallied behind a big fourth inning to defeat visiting county rival Hardin Northern 10-6 Monday evening at the park in the debut of new head coach Rebecca Dicke.
Ada improved to 1-0 this season with the home opening-win, while HN fell to 0-1 with the loss.
The Lady Bulldogs plated all 10 runs in their final three at bats to post the comeback victory.
"The girls worked out their first-game jitters and rallied to make things happen on the bases," said Dicke.
"I was pleased at how the underclass players stepped up on both offense and defense today."

Three events are planned this spring at the Ohio Northern University Observatory, according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. They follow:
Apollo Career Center will hold its seventh annual Apollopalooza on April 11, 5:30-7 p.m. Apollopalooza will showcase both the high school and adult education programs, celebrate Apollo's partnerships with local businesses, highlight Career Tech opportunities, its students and instructors. The event is free and open to the public.
For over 40 years, Apollo has provided workforce development to thousands of adult and high school students. The training and programs offered, as well as the equipment and technology used, has changed dramatically since the doors opened to the first classes.
The bridge over Hog Creek on Hardin County Road 15 is closed until mid-June. CLICK HERE for a story and more photos about the project and future plans involving CR 15.
