The Bluffton University softball team kicked off Heartland Conference play with a pair of exciting walkoff wins over Rose-Hulman on a chilly Saturday, April 2, 2022. Bluffton improved to 8-10 overall and 2-0 in the Heartland Conference, while RHIT slipped to 11-5 and 0-2 in the HCAC.
Bluffton erased a 3-0 Rose lead in the bottom of the third when Madison Jones (West Milton/Milton Union) and Bobbi Adams (Delaware/Rutherford B. Hayes) hit back-to-back dingers. The shot by Adams was still climbing when it cleared the scoreboard in left field!
