BLUFFTON, Ohio - For the second straight Tuesday, Earlham College used a scintillating pitching performance from freshman Walter Talcott to stymie the Bluffton University baseball team at Memorial Field. Earlham improved to 16-5 and 6-3 in the Heartland Conference with the 6-1 win, while Bluffton fell to 6-15 and 1-7 in the HCAC. Talcott went the distance in a 6-0 shutout just one week ago.
