The Nittany Lions and Griffins exchanged blows throughout both contests today, with Gwynedd Mercy recording nine hits and the Nittany Lions recording 13 hits throughout the doubleheader. In game one, senior pitcher Emily Murphy (Philadelphia, Pa.) looking for her first win on the season pitched a complete game giving up five earned runs on seven hits four walks, and five strikeouts in the 5-4 defeat (0-3). In game two, all-time strikeout leader Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) went 6.2 innings with an outstanding 10 strikeouts in the contest. Baumeister only allowed one earned run while giving up two walks in the 3-2 loss (2-3). 

Griffin Highlights: 

Game One: 

  • Gwynedd Mercy University came into the ballgame playing fundamental softball as sophomore utility player Hannah Cohen (North Whales, Pa.) hit a run-batted-in (RBI) sacrifice fly to right field in the first inning scoring senior captain outfielder Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.) (1-0). The next batter, sophomore catcher captain Maya Hellyer (Quakertown, Pa.) put the bat to the ball and grounded out to shortstop but crossing the plate was sophomore infielder Avery Schwartz (Collegeville, Pa.) (2-0).  
  • Down three going into the sixth inning 5th-year pitcher Baumeister hit a two-RBI single through the right side of the diamond bringing home the final two runs in game one (5-4).  

Game Two:  

  • Sophomore infielder Kassidy Kehoe (Lansdale, Pa.) made a prime example of always running hard on every play in the bottom of the second. With Kehoe's hustle her sacrifice bunt turned into a throwing error from the third baseman and brought home the first run of game two (1-0).  
  • In the next inning (3), Cohen picked up her second RBI of the day with a single up the middle bringing home Cordero (2-0).  

Gwynedd Mercy University returns to Fank O. Genuardi Legends Softball field for the first time in the 2025 season on Thursday, March 20 when the team host Haverford College for a doubleheader matchup beginning at 3:00 p.m.
