FINDLAY – The visiting Ada High School softball team lost 7-3 to Liberty-Benton in their inaugural Blanchard Valley Conference opener on a wet Wednesday, April 2.
The scheduled home game was moved from Ada to L-B since the Eagles have a synthetic turf surface.
“We need to get back to doing the small things,” said fourth-year Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. “We made good contact but couldn’t get anything in the gaps.
“You can’t make seven errors and beat a good team,” he noted.
The Bulldogs were out-hit 10-5 and committed seven costly errors.

On August 21, 1987, the movie Dirty Dancing was released in the United States. One of the most famous lines from the picture was “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” Johnny Castle, played by Patrick Swayze, tells this line to Baby, played by Jennifer Grey. 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.
