PLANT CITY, Fla. - The Bluffton University women's softball team lost a heartbreaker in game one as it took nine innings to finish, but eventually Muskingum won the game 7-6 after two innings of the international tie-breaker. Game two saw Penn St.-Behrend hold on for the 9-5 victory. The Beavers are now 2-6 on the season heading into their final day in Florida.
The squad had a rough final day, dropping both games en route to a 2-8 mark as the Beavers head back to Ohio. St. John Fisher defeated the Beavers 8-2 in game one, and game two was much of the same story as Ohio Northern defeated Bluffton 11-2 in five innings.
