WINTER HAVEN, FL. -- Gwynedd-Mercy defeated #25 Farmingdale State Saturday afternoon 15-0 and 12-11 to start 2-0 on the young season.

In game one, sophomore Matt Rakus (Sewell, N.J. / St. Augustine) threw a complete game five-hit shutout for the victory. The Griffins offense came to life in the second inning, scoring 10 runs. Juniors John Burns (Levittown, Pa. / Neshaminy), Dante Cassano (Cherry Hill, N.J. / Cherry Hill East) and freshman Christopher Hens (Horsham, Pa. / Hatboro-Horsham) all hit home runs for Gwynedd, with each of them going deep on the first pitch they saw.

Game two saw the Griffins trail 10-3 early but after chipping away, they mounted a five run seventh inning comeback, all with two outs, to take the lead. Sophomore Sean Muscovitch (Spring City, Pa. / Owen J. Roberts) picked up the win in relief and freshman Andrew Hill (Christiana, Pa. / Octorara) recorded the save.
