FINDLAY - Defiance Tinora scored on the only extra-base hit of an extra-inning pitcher's duel with two outs in the eighth to win the Div. IV regional softball semifinals 3-2 over a valiant Ada squad on a warm Wednesday evening at Marathon Diamonds in Findlay.
With two out in the bottom of the eighth, Tinora junior outfielder Aubrey Reineke lofted a long drive to right field for a triple that scored pinch runner Lexi Miles with the winning run.
The Lady Bulldogs ended their season 17-9 with the heartbreaking loss. Meanwhile, Tinora improved to 16-6 and advanced to the state quarterfinals with the win.
The Village of Ada, Ohio Northern University, and numerous contributors have partnered to honor Union veterans of the Civil War on Memorial Day.
Commemorative bricks, each inscribed with the name, rank, and unit of 82 Civil War veterans from Ada and Liberty Township, will be dedicated at 10 on Monday in Railroad Park.
The bricks have been installed at the base of the Civil War monument in the park, which is located at Main Street and Central Avenue. The monument, a Civil War era siege cannon on a granite base, stands next to the Pennsylvania Railroad caboose and across the street to the north of Liberty National Bank.
