It was the Hiram College Terriers who came away with a 5-3 win over Bluffton University baseball on a beautiful Tuesday, April 12, 2022. Playing at home, Bluffton fell to 9-14 on the season, while Hiram improved to 9-13.

The Terriers got on the board first in the top of the second inning, scoring three runs on four hits. Fairbanks scored via a fielder's choice before two singles plated both Giesken and Mallernee. Hiram added one more in the top of the third when Houdeshell scored on a wild pitch.
