Eight-Run Third Powers Griffins in Game-One Slugfest, Baumeister Twists Cyclones in Game Two

Gwynedd Valley, Pa. - (4/10/2025) - Gwynedd Mercy University (7-16, 3-1) lit the scoreboard up for eight runs in the third inning (10-4) of game one versus the defending Atlantic East Conference (AEC) Champions, Centenary University (N.J.) (2-18, 0-4). They added three more in the fifth inning (13-6), providing senior Emily Murphy (Philadelphia, Pa.) and fifth-year Jocelyn Baumeister (Willow Grove, Pa.) plenty of headway to pick up their first win (1-8) and save (1) of the season, respectively. In game two, the Griffins used a triple from sophomore utility Hannah Cohen (North Wales, Pa.) (2-2) and a sacrifice fly from senior right fielder Carly Maw (Bensalem, Pa.) to gain a 3-2 lead, before adding four insurance runs in the fifth inning (7-2) and two more in the sixth inning of a 9-2 final. Baumeister earned the win (6-5) as she kept the Cyclones off track as she allowed one earned run on five hits, while striking out seven.

Griffin Highlights - Game One
  • After a pair of walks, junior designated player Avery Schwartz (Collegeville, Pa.) knocked in the first two Gwynedd Mercy University runs of the game with a first-inning double down the right field line; 2-1.
  • Facing a 4-2 deficit in the third, big hits from Schwartz, Cohen (4-3) and sophomore first baseman Kassidy Kehoe (Lansdale, Pa.) evened the game at 4-4 before additional hits from freshman second baseman Madison Heim (Orwigsburg, Pa.) (5-4), a single from fifth-year center fielder Shylynn Cordero (Allentown, Pa.) (6-4), a Cyclone error (7-4), a two-run triple from junior shortstop Hannah Smith (Levittown, Pa.) (9-4), and a Schwartz single through the box delivered the Griffins their 10-4 win.
  • Cordero (2-for-3), Smith (2-for-3), Schwartz (3-for-4), and Kehoe (2-for-4) recorded multiple hits in the contest.
  • Baumeister recorded all six of her outs via the strikeout in her second career save.
Griffin Highlights - Game Two
  • Gwynedd Mercy University evened the score with a Kehoe's first-inning triple to center; 1-1.
  • Another triple - this one from Cohen - tied the contest again in the fourth inning (2-2), before Maw's sacrifice fly gave the Griffins the edge; 3-2.
  • In the fifth, the Red and Gold separated for a 7-2 advantage with a two-out Cordero bunt-single, a Schwartz single, a Smith single (4-2), a Cyclone error (5-2), and two-run double from Baumeister (7-2).
  • Two more Griffins score in the sixth inning thanks to a Cordero triple (8-2) and an error on Schwartz's bunt down the first baseline; 9-2.
  • Baumeister took care of the rest with three quick outs in the top of the seventh inning.
Gwynedd Mercy University continues their AEC schedule on Saturday, April 12, when they visit Marymount University for a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader.
