Myrtle Beach, S.C. - (3/6/2022) - Facing a familiar foe on foreign soil, Gwynedd Mercy University (3-6) met Delaware Valley University (2-0) at Myrtle Beach High School for today's nine-inning affair. A pair of two-out singles and a balk had their consequence, as the Aggies staked a 3-0 lead in their first at-bat. The Griffins looked to match the production in the bottom of the opening frame, but were only able to manufacture two runs with a lead-off walks to senior second baseman Jake Martell (Yardley, Pa.) and senior right fielder T.J. Brasier (Levittown, Pa.), a sacrifice from junior first baseman Nick Price (Levittown, Pa.), a ground out from senior left fielder Brett Swire (Boyertown, Pa.) (3-1), and a wild pitch; 3-2. Delaware Valley University extended their lead to 4-2 with a run in the second-inning score and there the spread remained as both bullpens held firm to the final out.

Brasier was 2-for-2 with two walks and a run. Senior designated hitter Billy Collins (Hatfield, Pa.) (1-for-3), senior center fielder Jack Jamison (Fort Washington, Pa.) (1-for-4), and senior shortstop Rob Bailey (Abington, Pa.) (1-for-4) recorded the other three Griffin hits. Collins drew a walk and Bailey stole a bag as well. Freshman Cooper Root (Runnemede, N.J.) (1.0 IP, H, K), sophomore Joe Golden (Chruchville, Pa.) (0.2 IP, H, HBP), and sophomore Mitchell Bramsway (Temecula, Calif.) (2.1 IP, H, 3 K, HBP) combined for four scoreless inning of relief.

Gwynedd Mercy University returns to action on Tuesday, March 8, when they meet Catholic University for a 10:00 a.m. first pitch at The Ripken Experience's Ebbets Field.
