GREENWOOD, IN – Bluffton’s Lindsey Miller ( Wapakoneta, Ohio/H.S.) has been named March’s Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Women’s Player of the Month. The junior softball infielder propelled the Beavers to a 10-12 record in March, while hitting a league-best .500 in those 22 contests.
Miller was 33-for-66 at the plate and finished March with 16 runs, 28 RBI, seven doubles, and six home runs.
Included in her performances was a 3-for-3 effort in Bluffton’s 9-2 win over Cedarville on March 25. She had four RBI, two runs, and two home runs in the second game of the doubleheader.
For the season, Miller ranks among the HCAC leaders in slugging percentage (.879), RBI (28), on-base percentage (.532), doubles (7), runs scored (16), and home runs (6). Her six home runs have already set a single-season Bluffton record.
