SPENCERVILLE - The visiting Ada softball team came from behind to surpass Spencerville 12-5 in the Northwest Conference and season finale Friday evening.

With the win, the Ada season record finished at 13-12 overall and 2-6 in the NWC. The last-place Bearcat girls fell to 4-17 and 0-7 in league play with the defeat.

"We started out slow today, and then the light bulb went on and we decided we better swing the bats if we wanted to win the game," said Bulldog head coach Rebecca Dicke.
