Experienced pitching corps to pace Bulldog baseball 

By Cort Reynolds

The Ada varsity baseball team has solid veteran pitching and a lot of youth on its 2022 roster.

The Bulldog baseballers return six starters from last year's team that finished 7-14 overall and 1-7 in the Northwest Conference, good for eighth place.

Veteran Bulldog head coach Jason Campbell enters his ninth year at the helm of the Bulldog program (44-152 overall, 8-64 NWC).

He has new coaching help from intense assistant Toby Smith, who has won over 300 high school games as a head coach. Smith also serves as the head Ada football coach.
