BOYERTOWN, PA. -- Fifth-seeded Franklin & Marshall defeated fourth-seeded Gwynedd-Mercy, 14-1, Thursday morning in the first game of the NCAA Division III Baseball Regional Tournament at Bear Stadium. The Griffins (31-14) now will play tomorrow at 8 p.m. in the loser's bracket against the loser of Kean/Frostburg State. The Diplomat's Gary Krueger went 3-for-6 with two doubles and two RBI's while Jon Compitello added two hits and four RBI's including a three-run double. F&M (29-9) took a 2-0 lead in the second off of two unearned runs. Stephen Frederick reached on a dropped fly ball and would score on a double from Rich Galugi. Galugi would later score on an RBI single from Compitello. The Griffins got on the board in the fourth as senior Ryan McMahon (Upper Darby, Pa./Monsignor Bonner) drove home Troy Peiffer (Royersford, Pa./Spring-Ford) on a two-out single. Peiffer led off the inning with a bloop single to right and advanced to third on two groundouts and would score on McMahon's base hit up the middle. But in the sixth, Krueger's two-run double helped cap a four-run inning to increase the lead to 7-1. McMahon and Peiffer each had one hit while freshman Ken Bengtson (Jamison, Pa./C.B. East) added a double in the ninth for the Griffins. Freshman Sean Middleton (Perkasie, Pa./Lansdale Catholic) took the loss for GM. This was the first meeting of the two schools. |
