GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA. - Sophomore Chris Corkery (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) hit a game-winning two-run double in the bottom of the seventh inning of game two to cap a four-run rally helping Gwynedd-Mercy sweep a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Doubleheader from Wesley Wednesday afternoon.

The Griffins (20-9, 11-1 PAC), who have won six in a row, won the nightcap, 7-6, and took the first game, 7-3, behind the strong pitching of Matt Daley (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic).

The junior struck out seven, walked two and scattered two earned runs on seven hits for his fourth complete game on the season. Senior Troy Peiffer (Royersford, Pa./Spring-Ford) and sophomore Mark Mattes (Doylestown, Pa./C.B. East) provided the offense, each with two hits and two RBIs.

In game two, Wesley (17-11, 7-5 PAC) staked a 5-1 lead after plating two runs in the third and three in the fourth. But the Griffins got two runs back in the bottom of the frame as Mattes delivered a two-out, two-run single to cut the deficit to 5-3.

Down 6-3 heading into the seventh, freshman Tim Hoban (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) led off the inning with a double and would score on a two-base hit from the next batter, Mattes. After back-to-back walks to Capella and Peiffer to load the bases, Mattes would score on a wild pitch to make it 6-5. Corkery then stepped to the plate and hit one into the gap in left center to provide the winning runs and complete the comeback.

Hoban had two hits and two runs scored while junior Anthony Capella (Philadelphia, Pa./Roman Catholic) added an RBI triple in the first. Sophomore Kyle Reynolds (Darby, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) picked up the win after pitching a scoreless seventh.

The players pile on after the last-inning comeback.
