BLUFFTON, Ohio - Senior JAYLEN VON SOSSAN (Ottawa-Ottawa-Glandorf) has been named the Heartland Conference Pitcher of the Week. He is the first Beaver to be named an HCAC Player of the Week since Michael Alexander was Hitter of the Week on April 13, 2015.
Von Sossan went 1-0 with a spotless 0.00 ERA in 8.2 innings. He fanned seven and walked just one while holding the opposition to a .194 batting average. The senior standout tossed 7.2 innings and gave up just one unearned run on Saturday, helping Bluffton clinch the Heartland Conference series against Anderson.
In a 1998 edition of the Bluffton alumni magazine, then known as “Scope,” an image of a grinning little girl standing confidently in Bluffton apparel can be found. Tessa Short, 18 months at the time of the photo, returned to campus 18 years later to continue a fourth generation legacy.
“I think it’s really cool to have so many family members go here,” she said. “I think it is a special bond.”
