The Bluffton University softball team made a day of it in Leesburg, FL, but the wait was worth it as Head Coach Paige Jansen picked up her first and second wins as the head coach of the Beavers! Bluffton improved to 2-1 on the season before a torrential downpour capped off the marathon on Monday, March 7, 2022.
Mount Mary jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first, but the Beavers responded with their first runs of the season in the home half when Madison Jones (West Milton/Milton Union) and Lily Tate (Mount Gilead/Northmor) laced back-to-back RBI singles.

March 8 is International Women's Day, a designation celebrated by organizations including the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) and by Bluffton's Ten Thousand Villages and Book Reviews shops.
Edna Ruth Byler started a global Fair Trade movement with a simple statement: “I’m just a woman trying to help other women.” She bought handmade goods for a fair price and sold them in the U.S. market, originally from the trunk of her car. The Bluffton store continues Edna's legacy and the work of Lois Kreider to bring the first Fair Trade gift and thrift store to the United States.
