SARASOTA, FL. – The Bluffton College baseball team (2-6) dropped two contests on the day Tony Gerig, Ryan Fiely and Scott VanEmanto finish fourth in the tournament. The Beavers lost to Goshen, 3-0 and Eastern Mennonite University 7-5.

 

Bluffton recorded no extra base hits in game one with Jim Dwenger knocking a double in game two, with Josh Underwood smacking out a two-run home run.

 

Ryan Fiely, Tony Gerig and Scott VanEman represented Bluffton on the all-tournament team.

 

“We didn’t finish how we wanted to, but we have a lot of things to build on because we were in every game and had a chance to win every game,” head coach James Grandey said. “The team has confidence in themselves and each other heading home for Ohio.”

 

Bluffton will be back in action on Wednesday when they host Otterbein. Game time is scheduled for 3 pm.
