Posted by Paula Scott on March 8, 2023 - 5:08am

The Bluffton University baseball team rallied from a 6-0 deficit to take down Alvernia 11-9 for Head Coach James Grandey's 300th career victory on Tuesday, March 7. The Beavers evened up their season mark at 2-2 with the historic victory.

Bluffton was trailing 6-0 when the Beavers came to bat in the bottom of the fourth inning. Although Alvernia induced a pair of groundouts to start the inning, Bluffton put together a two-out rally for the ages. Senior Adam Yoh (Milford) singled home Seth Altman (Hilliard/Hilliard Davidson) to crack the seal. Nick Diana (Batavia/West Clermont) was hit by a pitch with the bases juiced and Jake Baumgartner (Toledo/Start) made it 6-4 with his two-run single. A base hit to left center by Justin Maurer (Springfield/Kenton Ridge) plated Diana and Baumgartner and knotted the score at 6-6 after four.
