ADA__After a layoff of over two weeks due to bad weather, the Ada High School baseball team lost a seesaw 17-9 battle to visiting Botkins on Saturday, April 13.
The non-league defeat dropped the Bulldog record to 0-4. Botkins improved to 2-5 with the win.
The Trojans scored at least one run in all seven innings, while Ada tallied in five innings of the back-and-forth bout.
“If we can’t make the routine plays we are going to struggle,” said Ada second-year head coach Toby Smith. “We need to find consistency. When we do, we will have better results.”
Botkins stole 16 bases and capitalized on 11 Bulldog errors to score 11 unearned runs.
