ST. DAVIDS, PA. - Junior Matt Daley (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) became the first pitcher in Gwynedd-Mercy Baseball history to throw a no-hitter helping the Griffins sweep a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference doubleheader against Eastern on Saturday.

Daley allowed just three baserunners while striking out five in a 14-0 win in game one. Freshman Tyler Coulter (Gwynedd Valley, Pa./Wissakickon) went 2-for-2 with three RBIs. Sophomore Mark Mattes (Doylestown, Pa./C.B. East) collected two hits, scoring twice and knocking in a run.

Game two starter Josh Thomas (Severn, Md./Cardinal Gibbons) went the distance in a 7-4 win. The junior scattered seven hits and allowed no earned runs.

Seniors Troy Peiffer (Royersford, Pa./Spring-Ford) hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Ryan McMahon (Upper Darby, Pa./Monsignor Bonner) was 2-for-4 with an RBI and run scored.

The Griffins improve to 10-6 and 3-0 in PAC play. Eastern slips to 3-11 and 0-3 in the league.

Gwynedd-Mercy returns to action tomorrow with a non-league twinbill at Dickinson starting at noon.
