Basketball or Baseball

The Bluffton Beavers Baseball team is highly regarded for many different things. The mix up between basketball and baseball during a game gave the crowd a chuckle. During a close game at Bluffton University the Beavers were giving it everything they had. There was a ferocious ground ball hit directly to the middle infield. The second baseman and the shortstop quickly reacted and the shortstop get the ball first. Just when it seems as if the play will be definitely made, you see the ball jump up and go towards the players face. In one instant, it seemed as if the game was over due to the bad hop of the baseball.


The young man did not feel this way, he was determined to make the play and keep his team in the game. With a quick reaction, the player smacked the ball down from his face and proceeded to repeat that motion, which made it seem as if the player had bounced the ball. There was a dead silence until the ball was thrown to first base and the runner was called out by the umpire. This must have acted as a spark to loosen the Beavers. After that inning the Beavers took the game over and won with no problems, with a score of ten to six.

Players in the heat of the battle must be ready to act and react. The reason why the fans are dedicated is because of that statement. They always get a show when they come and watch their own Bluffton Beavers, whether they are winning or playing the wrong sport, it always seems as if they are crowd pleasers.
