DELAWARE--The Bluffton University baseball team dropped its first game of the season, 8-0, as the Beavers traveled to Ohio Wesleyan University on Wednesday, March 1, 2023. Bluffton stands 0-1 while the Battling Bishops open up at 1-0.

The Beavers limited OWU to just four runs through the first seventh innings, but the eight is where the home team put it on ice, scoring two times on wild pitches and two more on a missile to right center. Ohio Wesleyan doubled its offensive output in the inning en route to an 8-0 victory on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon.

The Beavers will hop on a flight down to Fort Myers, Fla., for a plethora of matchups over spring break. They kick off their southern slate with a doubleheader against Rockford University from Illinois on Monday, March 6. The first game is slated for 9 a.m. at Terry Park Field 3.
