McCOMB - Visiting Ada whipped McComb 9-3 in non-league softball action Tuesday on an unseasonably warm evening.
Ada improved to 2-1 this season with the convincing win, while the Lady Panthers dropped to 1-5 with the defeat.
Senior Leona Dalton pitched a complete game and socked a home run, her third of the season, to lead the Lady Bulldogs to victory. She also drove in three runs.
"We did what we needed to do by putting the ball in play and reducing our errors to one," said Ada head coach Rebecca Dicke. "Dalton threw a wonderful game with 11 strikeouts and no walks."
Junior Andrew Cochran (Wooster) was named the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Tennis Player of Week for the week of March 29-April 4.
