FINDLAY – The visiting Ada High School softball team lost 7-3 to Liberty-Benton in their inaugural Blanchard Valley Conference opener on a wet Wednesday, April 2.

The scheduled home game was moved from Ada to L-B since the Eagles have a synthetic turf surface.

“We need to get back to doing the small things,” said fourth-year Ada head coach Jeff Bassitt. “We made good contact but couldn’t get anything in the gaps.

“You can’t make seven errors and beat a good team,” he noted.

The Bulldogs were out-hit 10-5 and committed seven costly errors.
