Bulldog softball stings Hornets

By Cort Reynolds

The unbeaten Ada High School softball team shut out Cory-Rawson 9-0 before a big crowd on a mostly sunny home opener Thursday evening, March 30.

The Lady Bulldogs improved to 3-0 with the win, punctuated by good pitching and strong offense. The youthful Hornet girls fell to 0-1 with their-season opening loss. 

“It was another good team effort,” said Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. “The girls are playing with more confidence. They are making the plays defensively.”

Ada jumped ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the first inning and never trailed. First sacker Aidra Preston drew a walk and came around to score when the Hornets misplayed Natilyn McClain’s bunt single.

In the bottom of the second, Ada plated four runs to seize command. Kayla Wince walked and stole second base. Karley Wagner stroked an RBI single to center field, and advanced to third when the Hornet outfielder erred fielding the hard grounder.
