By Kyle Niermann

On the Beavers' sixth day down in Florida, they ran into a stiff test from the Moravian Greyhounds. It was low scoring affair as pitching dominated the day and Bluffton dropped only its second game of the season by a score of 4-2.

The Beavers got everything they could ask for and more out of starting pitcher Nate Simonds (Ypsilanti Mich,/Lincoln) who went the complete nine innings. He worked very efficiently, throwing only 102 pitches.
