The young Ada High School girls softball team lost its season lidlifter at non-league foe Arcadia by a 9-4 count Tuesday evening, March 29.

"Errors and leaving people on base hurt," said new Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. "We were in the game and did some good stuff, but we have to clean up the errors. 

"They had a really good catcher and pitcher," he added. "We had some hard-hit outs, but they made plays on them. They hit the ball harder than we did, and in the gap more. They have a nice team."

Behind strong pitching and timely hitting, the Ada High School baseball team won its season opener 3-1 at Arcadia on a chilly Tuesday evening, March 29.

Senior Kadin Phipps Phipps struck out 11 Redskins and allowed just two hits and a run over six innings to earn the win.

The Bulldogs led 1-0 early before tacking on two more scores in the fifth frames.  

In the second inning Phipps walked, stole second base and scored on a Levi Sousley grounder to give Ada a 1-0 edge.

In the top of the fifth, Spencer Wall drew a walk and Jacob Sutherly stroked a single. Both came around to score on a two-run Zach Neiswander single.
