Inglisa Steady, DeCarlo Collects Four Hits, but Late Brit Runs Lead to Loss

Auburndale, Fla. - (3/12/2026) – Gwynedd Mercy University (6-4), played its final game in Auburndale, taking on Albion College (6-3) for an early bird matchup. After going up 4-0 after the first inning, Albion fought back late with a four-run seventh and three-run eighth to walk away with an 8-7 victory. Junior pitcher Michael Inglisa (Delran, N.J.) was brilliant on the mound, pitching 6.1 innings, allowing six hits, three earned runs, one walk, while striking out four.  

Griffin Highlights: 

  • Gwynedd Mercy came out of the gate hot with freshman outfielder Charlie Neal (Mickeltown, N.J.) hitting a run-batted-in (RBI) single to left field in the cleanup spot to put the Griffins ahead 1-0. A few pitches later, a wild pitch brought home another run (2-0). An error in the field and a good at-bat from junior infielder Jake Vitale (Laurel Springs, N.J.) reaching base from a fielder's choice gave Gwynedd an early 4-0 advantage.  
  • With the red and gold down 5-4 heading into the seventh, sophomore infielder Devan Ross (Lansdale, Pa.) found the equalizer with an RBI single to score senior infielder Jimmy DeCarlo (Ridley Park, Pa.) (5-5).  
  • The offense once again had to try to come through after three runs were allowed in the top of the eighth. Junior outfielder Noah Waldron (Collingswood, N.J.) hit a grounder to the second baseman, but would allow freshman catcher Jacob Ruddell (Warrington, Pa.) (8-6). DeCarlo hit an RBI single to right field a batter later, pulling the Griffins within one (8-7), but would be unable to find the tying run.  
  • In relief of Inglisa, sophomore pitcher Chase Hamilton (Philadelphia, Pa.) was called out from the bullpen, pitching 2.2 innings allowing three earned runs in the loss (0-1).  

Gwynedd Mercy University plays its final spring trip contest down in Florida, taking on Dickson College for a doubleheader on Friday, March 13, with the first pitch scheduled for 9:00 a.m.
