Griffins Ambush Falcons with 14 Runs in Victory

Auburndale, Fla. - (3/11/2026) – Gwynedd Mercy University (6-3), traveled just south of Davenport, where they continued their spring road trip to take on Albertus Magnus College (2-3). After only securing four hits in yesterday's contest, the Griffins offense reset with 14 hits and secured a 14-7 victory. Senior outfielder Chris Nodeland (Hamilton, N.J.) led the way for Gwynedd Mercy, going three-for-four on the day with two singles and a double with a game-high four runs-batted-in (RBI). 

Griffin Highlights: 

  • In the first inning, senior infielder Jimmy DeCarlo (Ridley Park, Pa.) continued his impressive start to the 2026 season with an RBI double (1-0), putting him at nine RBIs in the early portion of the season.  
  • Nodeland's second RBI came just an inning later (2nd) with a single to left field (2-2), and an error from the second baseman later in the inning allowed freshman infielder Felix Melendez (Philadelphia, Pa.) to give the Griffins the lead right back (3-2).  
  • Two errors in the field brought home two more runs in the third (5-4).  
  • In the fourth inning, similar to the first, second, and third inning the red and gold brought in a pair of runs again, thanks to a sacrifice bunt from sophomore infielder Devan Ross (Lansdale, Pa.) and a professional at-bat from Melendez working a walk (7-4).  
  • Gwynedd Mercy would go on to score another run in the sixth thanks to an RBI single from Nodeland.  
  • In the seventh, the Griffins put up a five-spot in the seventh. An RBI single from freshman outfielder Charlie Neal (Mickeltown, N.J.), an RBI triple from Ross, an RBI single from junior catcher Ryan Schultz (Westmont, N.J.), and a two RBI double from Nodeland extended Gwynedd Mercy's lead to 13-5.  
  • The final run for the red and gold came in the eighth inning with junior outfielder Karl Wissman (Cinnaminson, N.J.) scoring on a wild pitch (14-6) 
  • Freshman pitcher Landon Glovas (Nazareth, Pa.) started on the bump for the Griffins, finishing with 4.2 innings pitched with three earned runs on five hits, one walk and two strikeouts. In relief, sophomore pitcher Dylan Ganey (Langhorne, Pa.) earned his first win of the season (1-1) pitching 2.1 innings giving up no earned runs with a strikeout. Sophomore pitcher Kevin King (Ridley, Pa.) closed things out going two strong innings allowing one earned run on three hits and striking out one. 

Gwynedd Mercy University continues its play in Florida, taking on Albion College next Thursday, March 12, with a 10:15 a.m. start time.
