READING, PA.  -- Behind 22 hits, Gwynedd-Mercy struck early and often in a 17-3 win at Penn State-Berks on Wednesday.

The Griffins (5-4) plated runs in the first four innings including a six-run second to go up 13-0.

Senior Josh Martin (Pottstown, Pa./St. Pius X), sophomore Rick Elfreth (Washington Twp., N.J./St. Augustine) and freshman David Blount (Croydon, Pa./Harry S. Truman) each had three hits apiece. Martin drove in three runs while Blount scored three times and Elfreth knocked in a run and scored twice.

GM also took advantage of six PSU-Berks errors, which led to seven unearned runs.
