Griffins Fall To The Bears

Collegeville, PA - (3/21/2023) - Gwynedd Mercy University (10-4) played its fourth game in two days this time traveling up to Ursinus College (12-6) to take on the Bears. Ursinus College was too much for the Griffins to handle as they won both games today 4-2 (game one) and 6-5 (game two). In game one, junior captain pitcher Ashely Focht (Harrisburg, Pa.) got the nod in game one going six innings giving up four earned runs on 11 hits and walking one. Focht earned her second loss of the season (5-2). In game two, junior pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) went 2-3 from the plate with a team-high two runs batted in (RBI). She also got the start pitching six innings giving up five earned runs on ten hits and two strikeouts. 

Griffin Highlights - Game 1: 

  • Down 1-0 going into the fifth inning, the Griffins finally got on the board when junior captain infielder Grace Scally (Philadelphia, Pa.) hit an RBI double to right field bringing home sophomore outfielder Ally McDaid (Maple Glen, Pa.), and evening the score 1-1. 
  • In the same inning, Focht singled to left field allowing Scally to cross home plate and giving Gwynedd Mercy its first lead of the day 2-1. 

Griffin Highlights - Game 2: 

  • Looking to bounce back from game two Gwynedd Mercy already had some work to do. Going into the sixth inning the Griffins were already down 3-0, but that changed when Baumeister singled to right field and cut the deficit to 3-1. 
  • Still, in the sixth inning, freshman shortstop Hannah Smith (Levittown, Pa.) hit an RBI double down the left field line cutting the Bears lead to one (3-2). 
  • In the seventh and final inning, senior outfielder Emma Carney (Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) reached on a fielder's choice and allowed junior utility player Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.) to cross home plate (6-3). 
  • Just two batters later, Baunesiter again singled allowing McDaid to score (6-4). An error by the catcher also brought home Carney, however, it would not be enough for Gwynedd Mercy as they would drop the second game 6-5. 

Gwynedd Mercy University gets a well-deserved rest as they don't play their next game till Saturday, March 25, when they play their first Atlantic East Conference (AEC) opponent Centenary University (New Jersey). The Griffins will also host this event for the first time this season and will play at Temple Ambler Softball Field. Games are slated for a 12:00 P.M. and 2:00 P.M. start.
