The Bulldogs out-hit the Hornet girls, 9-2.

ADA – The Ada High School baseball team lost a 6-3 heartbreaker to visiting Cory-Rawson in their delayed home opener on Thursday, April 3. 

The Hornets tallied four runs with two outs in the top of the seventh to pull off an unlikely comeback win.  

Trailing 3-2, C-R loaded the bases on a single, a bunt hit and a walk with one out in their last at bat. A pop-out to second baseman Wes Mowery got Ada within an out of victory.

The next Hornet batter hit a one-hopper back to the mound, but Ada threw wide to home plate in an attempt to get the force-out which allowed the tying run to score.
