The Bluffton University baseball team needed a sweep vs Mount St. Joseph--and some help--to get into the Heartland Conference tournament. Anderson took care of the help with a split against Transylvania, but the Beavers came up one win shy as they split with MSJ in the regular-season finale on Senior Day.
Bluffton ended the year with a 17-22 mark overall and 9-9 in the Heartland Conference, while MSJ moved to 15-23 and 6-12 in the HCAC.
The Lions scored two runs in the second inning of game one and that was more than enough as MSJ held Bluffton scoreless in a 6-0 shutout. Jacob Hughes was nearly unhittable, allowing just two safeties while striking out nine Beavers with two walks.
Four members of the Bluffton University softball team were recognized when the Heartland Conference handed out its 2022 post-season hardware.
Bobbi Adams (Delaware/Rutherford B. Hayes) notched First Team All-HCAC for the second straight season.
Fellow junior Lily Tate (Mount Gilead/Northmor) and freshman Madison Jones (West Milton/Milton Union) took home second team recognition, while junior Sydney Zinkon (Fresno/Ridgewood) was named honorable mention.
