Griffins Take Two of Three From Cyclones

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. (3/23/2024) - Gwynedd Mercy University (7-9, 2-1) hosted Centenary University (N.J.) (8-11, 1-2) where the red and gold after winning game one against the Cyclones on Friday looked to take the series win. In game one, senior pitcher Mitchell Bramsway (Temecula, Calif.) started on the mound for the Griffins in game one. Bramsway pitched a complete game (seven innings) for the first time in his career and dominated the contest. Bramsway only threw 71 pitches, giving up five hits, one earned run, one walk, and striking out six in the 3-1 victory (1-0). In game two, junior pitcher Cooper Root (Runnemede, N.J.) made his fourth start in his junior campaign, also pitching a complete game (nine innings), giving up 11 hits, four earned runs, one walk, and striking out two. Root was unable to earn the win in his outing (1-3) as the Griffins fell 5-2 in game two.  

Griffin Highlights: 
 
Game One: 

  • With a leadoff single for freshman shortstop Drew Haines (Hammonton, N.J.) and a walk for sophomore outfielder Chris Nodeland (Hamilton, N.J.), Root was able to knock in the first two runs in the game with a two runs-batted-in (RBI) triple to right field giving the Griffins a 2-0 lead.  
  • In the next inning (3), junior infielder Ricky Templeton (West Deptford, N.J.) was hit by a pitch to start the inning. Senior infielder Nick Price (Levittown, Pa.) doubled down the right field line to put both him and Templeton into scoring position. With just one out, Haines put the bat on the ball and grounded out to the shortstop but allowed Templeton to score (3-0). 

Game Two: 

  • With the Cyclones taking a 1-0 lead after the top of the second inning, senior utility player Frank Ebling (Cherry Hill, N.J.) led off the bottom of the second with a triple to right field. The next batter, Price, hit Ebling home with a groundout to second base bringing the score to 1-1. 
  • The Griffins would get their final run-in game two as Root started the bottom of the sixth inning with a double, followed by a single from Templeton to bring the score to the eventual 5-2 finish. 


Gwynedd Mercy University is back in action Monday, March 25, when the team welcomes Gettysburg College to Frank O. Genuardi Legends Field for a 3:30 p.m. first pitch.
