4th inning explosion powers Ada baseball past W-G

By Cort Reynolds

Playing at home, the Ada High School baseball team rode a 10-run fourth inning to run-rule visiting Waynesfield-Goshen 15-0 on a cold and windy Tuesday evening at the War Memorial Park diamond.

Ada improved to 4-5 with the lopsided five-inning win, their second victory in a row. Meanwhile, W-G dropped to 1-5 with the non-league defeat.

Bulldog senior hurler Kadin Phipps struck out six and allowed just three hits over five innings to earn his second win of the season.
