Bulldog baseball blanked by Eagles

By Cort Reynolds

FINDLAY – The visiting Ada High School baseball team was no-hit in a shortened 15-0 loss at Liberty-Benton in the Blanchard Valley Conference opener on Wednesday evening, April 2. 

The game was scheduled to be at Ada, but was moved to L-B due to wet field conditions. The Eagles have a synthetic turf surface.

L-B authored a 10-run second inning to put the game out of reach early.

The Bulldogs were out-hit 10-0 in the five-inning contest shortened by the 10-run mercy rule.

Ada fell to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in the BVC after the defeat. L-B improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in BVC play with the win.

In 2024, the movie was selected to be preserved in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. 

The phrase from the movie has become iconic and represents a stance of empowerment or standing up to societal expectations.
