Coach Shane Coker’s club fell to 21-6 overall and 10-3 in District 4A-1 play, while Blanchard saw its winning streak extend to 19 games and improved to 27-1 and 14-0.
In another 4A-1 matchup Monday night, the Byng Pirates handled Harrah 11-1 at Stokes Field. Byng is now 19-4 overall and 10-3 in the district, while the Panthers sank to 15-14 and 9-4.

Both starting pitchers turned in strong performances.
BHS hurler Jaxson Heard struck out seven, walked one and scattered four hits in a complete-game shutout. Brock Boyles tossed the ball well for Ada. He struck out a season-high nine batters, walked one and allowed three earned runs in 6.2 innings.
Ada’s four hits — all singles — came from JD Dugan, Will Johnson, Boyles and Kyler Gaddis.
Heard helped his own cause by leading a nine-hit Blanchard offense. He finished 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBIs. Braxton Milligan added a pair of hits and Kobe Madron hit a solo home run.

Brody Airington scored on a nice sacrifice bunt by Ezekiel Griffin with one out in the bottom of the sixth that capped a six-run BHS outburst and gave Byng the walk-off victory.
The Pirates led 5-0 after four innings.
Byng finished with seven total hits, led by Preston Welch who finished 2-for-2 with two walks and an RBI. Lane Alexander hit a solo home run to lead off the bottom of the third inning that put the home team ahead 4-0. He finished 1-for-3 with two RBIs.
Airington finished 1-for-2 with an RBI and three runs scored. He was also hit by a pitch. Ryan Shelton also had a hit and scored a run for the Pirates.
