GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. - Junior pitchers Matt Daley (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) and Josh Thomas (Severn, Md./Cardinal Gibbons) helped Gwynedd-Mercy sweep a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference doubleheader from Alvernia Saturday afternoon.

Daley scattered two runs on seven hits while striking out five and walking none for this third complete game in a 4-2 win in game one.

After an RBI double in the third gave Alvernia a brief 1-0 lead, GM answered with three in the bottom of the frame as senior Troy Peiffer (Royersford, Pa./Spring-Ford), junior Anthony Capella (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic), and sophomore Chris Corkery (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) each drove in a run. Zach Lutz and Jason Ziegler each collected two hits for Alvernia.

Up 4-2 in the seventh and with the tying run at the plate, Daley got out of a jam with a double play to end the game for Gwynedd (13-8, 5-1 PAC).

Thomas picked up his team-leading fourth win of the season in game two, lasting into the sixth, in a 6-4 victory. Sophomore Mark Mattes (Doylestown, Pa./C.B. East) and freshman Tim Hoban (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) each went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Mattes also knocked in two.

The Griffins rallied from a 4-2 deficit with three runs in the fourth and an insurance run in the six.

Sophomore Kyle Reynolds (Darby, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) picked up his first save allowing just two hits and fanning one batter in a inning and a third of work.

Ziegler went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Crusaders (11-9, 2-4 PAC) in game two.

The Griffins host nationally-ranked Rowan here in non-league action this Tuesday at 3:30 p.m.
