Offensive Explosion Leads Griffins To Big Win Over Ravens

Rosemont, Pa. - (3/22/2023) - This game was anything but friendly to the pitchers. Gwynedd Mercy University (9-5) traveled to Rosemont College (7-6) in which both the Griffins and Ravens displayed an offensive outburst, but eventually, Gwynedd Mercy would come out on top with a 17-16 victory. Senior infielder Nick Price (Levittown, Pa.) finished the day 2-3 from the dish with a team-high six runs batted in (RBI). 

Griffin Highlights - Game 1: 

  • Gwynedd Mercy started their offensive outburst in the third inning when Price tippled to center field bringing home freshman outfielder Sam Junker (Ambler, Pa.) and senior infielder Jake Martell (Levittown, Pa.) cutting Rosemont's College lead down 4-2. 
  • On the very next pitch graduate infielder Billy Collins (Hatfield, Pa.) hit an RBI double of his own to allow Price to cross home plate (4-3). 
  • Later in the inning, sophomore outfielder Cooper Root (Runnemede, N.J.) gave the Griffins the first lead of the game with a two-RBI double and gave Gwynedd Mercy a 5-4 advantage.
  • In the fourth inning, the Griffins scored five runs on two hits, a wild pitch, and a passed ball including Root with another RBI single to right field (10-4). 
  • In the fifth inning, Price hit a sacrifice fly to right field to bring home freshmen outfielder Chris Nodeland (Hamilton, N.J.) and extend Gwynedd Mercy's lead 11-5.
  • The Griffins capped off their impressive offensive performance with one more rally in the seventh inning.
  • Martell had an RBI single through the middle bringing home senior infielder Rob Bailey (Abington, Pa.) (12-9).
  • The next batter Junker also had an RBI single, but this time allowing Nodeland to score (13-9). 
  • Price continued his impressive day at the plate with a two-RBI double bringing in Junker and Martell (15-9).
  • Junior outfielder Frank Ebling (Cherry Hill, N.J.) also joined in on the fun singling to right field which brought home Price (16-9).
  • After a failed pickoff attempt on Ebling, good base running awareness from Collins allowed him to record Gwynedd Mercy's final run of the day 17-9. 
  • Sophomore pitcher Anthony Barbosa (Norristown, Pa.) recorded the win in today's contest pitching 3.1 innings and giving up six earned runs on eight hits while striking out two. 

Gwynedd Mercy returns to action Friday, March 24, when they play their first Atlantic East Conference (AEC) game at Marymount University for a scheduled 3:00 P.M. first pitch.
