Griffins Split With Scarlet Raptors Ahead Of Conference Play

Camden, N.J. - (3/27/2025) - Coming off a doubleheader 24 hours prior, Gwynedd Mercy University (4-15) traveled to Rutgers-Camden (2-13) for a rare 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. doubleheader. Only recording five hits in game one, timely hits, heart, and hustle would provide the difference as the Griffins secured a 6-5 victory in game one. In game two, a loan run in the fourth and sixth was not enough as the Red and Gold split with the Scarlet Raptors after a 5-2 defeat. 5th year pitcher Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) came into relief in game one and earned the win, pitching four innings, giving up six hits and only one earned run. Baumeister also recorded four strikeouts while only walking one in the win (4-5). Senior pitcher Emily Murphy (Philadelphia, Pa.), still searching for her first win of the season, pitched five innings, giving up eight hits and walking one in the loss (0-7).  

Griffin Highlights:  

Game One: 

  • Down 4-0 early in the contest, Gwynedd Mercy's first run came on a wild pitch thrown by Rutgers-Camden in the fourth inning, bringing the Scarlet Raptors' lead to just 3 (4-1). With a little bit of luck and hustle a dribbler down the first base line from sophomore infielder Avery Schwartz (Collegeville, Pa.) the ball starting foul rolled back into fair territory, scoring both 5th year outfielder Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.) and senior infielder Shannon McLaughlin (Haddon Heights, N.J.) (4-3).  
  • After being a hero in yesterday's contest, sophomore catcher Maya Hellyer (Quakertown, Pa.) singled, and an error from Rutgers-Camden allowed the tying run to cross the dish (4-4).  
  • Gwynedd Mercy grabbed their first lead of the day with a ground out run-batted-in (RBI) from junior shortstop Hannah Smith (Levittown, Pa.) (5-4). The final run for the Griffins would cross from a wild pitch in the same inning (6-4).  

Game Two: 

  • 5th year catcher Kaylee Colantano (Clinton, N.J.) started the scoring for both teams with an RBI single to centerfield in the top of the fourth (1-0).  
  • Down three going into the top of the sixth, Baumeister single to right field scored Schwartz, but it would be the final run the Griffins would bring home (4-2).  

Gwynedd Mercy University begins Atlantic East Conference play Saturday, March 29, when the team hosts Marywood University for a double header contest. Game one is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. first pitch.
