Arcadia 6, Gwynedd-Mercy 5
Griffins let lead get away

Box Score

GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA - An RBI double in the top of the ninth broke a tie game to allow Arcadia to go on and defeat Gwynedd-Mercy, 6-5, in a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference game Tuesday afternoon.

The Griffins held a 5-1 lead but saw the Knights plate four runs in the eighth.

Senior Matt Martin (Pottstown, Pa./St. Pius X) as 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored for GM. Starter Tim McMenamin (Maple Shade, N.J./Maple Shade) threw into the eighth, scattering five runs on 10 hits, while fanning four and walking just two.

Gwynedd (11-8, 5-5 PAC) crossed a run in the first and the second innings. After Arcadia (12-7, 8-4 PAC) would add one in the third, senior Chris Corkery (Philadelphia/Roman Catholic) hit and RBI double and would later score on an error in the fourth to give GMC a 4-1 lead.

Martin's RBI single in the seventh upped the lead to 5-1 before McMenamin ran into trouble in the eighth. After he gave up a bases loaded single, reliever Kyle Reynolds (Darby, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) entered with one out. From there, the Knights managed two-straight RBI singles and a hit by pitch to score three runs to deadlock the game at 5-5. The Griffins got out of the frame with an inning-ending double play.

In the ninth Arcadia's Nick Goetz hit a one-out RBI double to take a 6-5 lead.

The Griffins led off the ninth with a walk but three-straight outs by the Knights closed the game.

Gwynedd will play at Haverford tomorrow in a non-league tilt starting at 3:30 p.m.
