On May 28, the first annual Ada varsity baseball and softball "Strike Out Cancer" benefit game raised $2,516.50. That total is expected to rise with another round of t-shirt sales.

The nine-inning game ended up 19-15 as the winning team rallied from an 11-0 deficit. The co-ed teams were comprised of players from both the Ada varsity baseball and softball teams.

Spencer Wall slugged three homers while Roman Snyder drilled two long balls, the second of which broke a 13-13 tie in the seventh inning. Kadin Phipps launched two sky-high home runs over the left field fence. Zach Neiswander and Tyler Jameson also went deep once each.
