McGUFFEY - The visiting Ada softball team held local arch-rival USV to one hit and rolled over the Rams 13-1 on a warm but windy Friday evening.

Ada improved to 7-2 with their sixth victory in the last seven games. The Rams fell to 0-4 with the defeat.

 

The purple and gold plated five runs in each of the first and second innings, then added one in the third to build an insurmountable 11-0 cushion.

 

Two more Bulldog runs in the top of the fourth frame extended the margin to 13-0. USV tallied an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth without a hit.
