North Myrtle Beach, SC - (3/5/2023) - Gwynedd Mercy University (2-0) started off their 2023 campaign at North Myrtle Beach to take part in the Fastpitch Dreams Spring Classic with wins over Bridgewater State University (1-1) 7-0 and Dean College (0-2) 13-5 (6 innings). In the first game against the Bears, junior pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) pitched a complete game shutout, allowing two hits and striking out six and earning her first win on the season (1-0). In game two against the Bulldogs, sophomore Ally McDaid (Maple Glen, Pa.) drove in a team-high four runs and was a key part of the offensive outburst in game two. 

Game 1 - Griffin Highlights:
  • Baumeister doubled to center in the first, knocking in senior outfielder Emma Carney (Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) and junior utility player Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.) giving the Griffins a 2-0 advantage. 
  • Baumeister again had a two runs batted in (RBI) double in the fifth scoring Carney and senior infielder Grace Scally (Philadelphia, Pa.) extending their lead 4-0. 
  • Sophomore middle infielder Carly Maw (Bensalem, Pa.) doubled down the right field line allowing Baumeister to cross home plate in the fifth (5-0).

Game 2 - Griffin Highlights:

  • Later in the third junior captain Ashley Focht (Harrisburg, Pa.) had a rbi single and an error in the field allowed two runs to come home giving Gwynedd Mercy their first lead of the game 3-2. 
  • The fourth inning was a big inning for the Griffins offense. A passed ball allowed freshman outfielder Kiersten Reeser (Warminster, Pa.) to score (4-2).
  • McDaid drove in two more runs scorning Cordero and junior outfielder Ava Casale (Sewell, N.J.) extending the lead 6-2.
