GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. - Gwynedd-Mercy swept a non-league doubleheader Saturday afternoon over visiting Haverford, winning game one 3-2 and the second, 10-1.

Game two saw GM jump out early again, thanks to a six-run second inning, with the big blow coming from Mattes' two-run double. He went 3-for-4 with three runs scored. Junior Anthony Capella (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) added two RBI's while Bengtson and sophomore Kurt Bruehl (Morrisville, Pa./Conwell Egan) both scored twice.
