The Bluffton High School varsity softball team was blanked 5-0 by visiting Elida Monday evening. The Pirate girls dropped to 0-4 with the non-league defeat.

The game was scoreless until the third inning, when Elida broke the tie to grab a 1-0 lead.

The visitors then plated three runs in the fifth frame as Lady Bulldog winning pitcher Livia Ramirez smacked a two-run double. 

Elida tacked on one more run in the top of the seventh inning to provide the final margin.
