Griffins Split Double Header With Ravens

Rosemont, Pa. - (3/19/2023) - Gwynedd Mercy University (8-2) traveled to Rosemont College (4-6) on  Friday, March 17, for a doubleheader contest. The Griffins stranded 11 runners on base in game one in a 9-2 loss, however in game two, Gwynedd Mercy brought home five runs in the ninth inning to give the Griffins a 7-6 victory and split the series with the Ravens. Junior captain pitcher Ashley Focht (Harrisburg, Pa.) pitched a complete game in game two giving up one earned run, six hits, walking three, and striking out six. She also helped herself get her fourth win on the year (4-1) going 2-4 from the plate with two hits and two runs batted in (RBI). 

Griffin Highlights - Game 1: 
  • Freshman shortstop Hannah Smith (Levittown, Pa.) got things started for the Griffins in game one when she singled to left field allowing junior captain infielder Grace Scally (Philadelphia, Pa.) to score in the first inning and give Gwynedd Mercy a 1-0 lead. 
  • In the fifth inning, sophomore outfielder Carly Maw (Bensalem, Pa.) made hard contact with the ball resulting in the second baseman not fielding it cleanly and allowing sophomore outfielder Ally McDaid (Maple Glen, Pa.) to cross home plate cutting the lead to 6-2. 
  • Junior pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) earned her first loss on the season (3-1) going six innings. She gave up 11 hits and eight earned runs while walking two and striking out five. 

Griffin Highlights: - Game 2:
  • In game two Gwynedd Mercy again got off to a fast start in the first inning, this time thanks to Focht when she hit an RBI single to right field bringing home junior utility player Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.) (1-0).
  • Down 4-1 going into the sixth inning senior outfielder Emma Carney (Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) cut the deficit when she singled to center field bringing Scally across home plate (4-2). 
  • Down by four heading into the final inning the Griffins' offense came alive. Cordero started the rally with an RBI single to left field bringing home freshman outfielder Kiersten Reeser (Warminster, Pa.) (6-3). 
  • A few batters later Focht had her second hit and RBI of the day and cutting the lead down 6-4. 
  • Carney hit a ball to right field that the right fielder was unable to come up with and because of this three players from Gwynedd Mercy would cross home plate and give the Griffins the eventual 7-6 victory!
Gwynedd Mercy is back on the road again Monday, March 20, when they take on Rutgers-Camden for a doubleheader showdown. The first game is scheduled to start at 3:00 P.M., while game two is scheduled to start at 5:00 P.M.
