Griffins Continue Winning Ways With Wins Over Vixens and Blazers

North Myrtle Beach, SC - (3/8/2023) - Gwynedd Mercy University's (6-0) wins streak continues to go up as they took down Sweet Briar College (4-9) 7-3 and Elms College (0-3) 9-4. Senior infielder captain Grace Scally (Philadelphia, Pa.) played a key in game one for the Griffins going 2-3 with two hits and two runs-batted-in (RBI). In game two junior pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) not only had two hits with two RBI but also pitched three innings not allowing a run and striking out three earning her third win of the year (3-0). Baumeister also reached 100 career strikeouts during her outing. With the Griffins starting the season 6-0 this season this is the best start they have had in program history, 

Game 1 - Griffin Highlights: 
  • The offense got started early when junior pitcher captain Ashley Focht (Harrisburg, Pa.) singled up the middle bringing home junior utility player Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.). A fielding error also occurred in the field allowing Carney to round third and cross home plate putting the Griffins up 2-0. 
  • The next batter Scally had an RBI double to left field extending the lead to 3-0.
  • After a passed ball the Griffins tacked on one more run before the end of the inning (4-0). 
  • In the second inning, Focht again had an RBI single this time bringing home freshman catcher Camryn Kinney (East Stroudsburg, Pa.) (5-0).
  • Scally would hit a sacrifice fly to center field which brought home senior outfielder Emma Carney (Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) and extend Gwynedd Mercy's lead to 6-0. 
  • In the third Kinney would finish the scoring for the Griffins of game one with a sacrifice line out to the left fielder and eventually giving the Griffins a 7-3 victory. 
  • Focht earned her second win of the season (2-0) going six innings allowing two earned runs on ten hits and striking out four. 
Game 2 - Griffin Highlights:
  • After a tough first inning down 4-0, Gwynedd Mercy kept their heads high and started the comeback in the first inning with senior infielder captain Allison Ross (Philadelphia, Pa.) singling down the right field line bringing home Cordero and cutting the lead down 4-1. 
  • Griffins went on to score six fifth-inning runs with freshman shortstop Hannah Smith (Levittown, Pa.) hitting a solo home run and the first homerun for the Griffins this season. 
  • In the sixth inning, Focht hit a deep sacrifice fly to center field and extended Gwynedd Mercy's lead to 8-4. 
  • The next batter resulted in the same result. Scally hit a fly ball to center field bringing home Carney and giving the Griffins a 9-4 victory. 
Gwynedd Mercy University looks to stay undefeated when they play Thursday, March 9, when they play Delaware Valley University (5:00 P.M.) and Clarks Summit University (7:00 P.M.) at North Myrtle Beach Field 1 for game one and field 2 for game two.
