ADA - Host Ada swept Arlington in a non-league softball doubleheader Saturday as senior hurler Leona Dalton picked up both wins with strong pitching.
The Lady Bulldogs improved to 4-2 overall with the pair of convincing victories. Arlington fell to 0-3 with the defeats.
Dalton struck out 16 Lady Red Devils in the opener and held the visitors without a hit in a run-rule shortened, five-inning 10-0 victory.
Utilizing pinpoint control, she also did not walk a batter.
They are reading up a storm at the Ada elementary school this week, as its spring read-a-thon is underway.
Here are classroom results from the first week.
• 513 books read by Kindergarten, first and second graders
• 21,507 books read by third, fourth and fifth graders
If you examine the accompanying photo, you'll notice a mustache-growing event as part of this – and you may ask your elementary students to explain.
The read-a-thon also has a fundraiser element. Students are earning money for the Ada Food Pantry.
A $3,500 goal is part of this portion of the read-a-thon. See an Ada K-5 student to contribute to that goal.
