The Ada High School baseball team lost 10-0 to defending league champion Lincolnview in the Northwest Conference opener Thursday, April 7, on a windy, cool evening at Ada’s War Memorial Park.

Lancer hurler Dane Ebel pitched a five-inning no-hitter and slugged a three-run home run over the right-center field fence to pace the victors.

The Bulldogs fell to 2-3 overall and 0-1 in the NWC with the defeat. Defending NWC champion Lincolnview improved to 2-3 and 1-0 in league play. 

The game was scheduled to be played at Lincolnview but was moved to Ada due to wet fields.
