Rams Escape Griffin Rally, Templeton Knocks in Three with Three Hits

Davenport, Fla. - (3/13/2024) - Junior designated hitter Ricky Templeton (West Deptford, N.J.) walked with one out in the top of the ninth inning and senior pinch runner Quin Dye (Conshohocken, Pa.) moved to second base before junior left fielder Cooper Root (Runnemede, N.J.) walked to join him aboard. Unfortunately, a pop out to first and a swinging strike out put an end to the Gwynedd Mercy University (4-6) rally in today's 6-5 loss to Farmingdale State University (4-5). Templeton was 3-for-4 and knocked in three runs with a two-run double in the first inning and a ground-rule double in the fifth inning. Freshman shortstop Drew Haines (Hammonton, N.J.) (1-for-5) and senior first baseman Nick Price (Levittown, Pa.) (2-for-5) both singled in runs in the seventh inning, while senior Mitchell Bramsway (Temecula, Calif.) was impressive in relief with nine strikeouts in six innings of work.

Griffin Highlights
  • Senior second baseman Frank Ebling (Cherry Hill, N.J.) singled with one out in the first inning and was safe at second after a poorly played ball off the bat of sophomore right fielder Sam Junker (Ambler, Pa.). Templeton's double to left field scored them both to give Gwynedd Mercy University an early 2-0 lead.
  • Junker doubled with two out in the fifth inning and cut a 5-2 Farmingdale State University lead to 5-3 when he scored on Templeton's ground-rule double to right center.
  • In the seventh inning, Ebling led off with a walk and moved to second on a two-out walk to Root before coming around on Haines' single up the middle; 6-4. After a pitching change, Price's single to right field to plate Root; 6-5.
  • In addition to Templeton, Junker (2-for-5) and Price (2-for-5) also recorded multiple hits.
Gwynedd Mercy University continues their stay at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational on Friday, March 15, when they face the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in a 1:00 p.m. contest.
