Score Game 1 GWYNEDD VALLEY, PA - Gwynedd-Mercy swept a Pennsylvania Athletic Conference doubleheader from visiting Misericordia on Senior Day Saturday afternoon. With the wins, the Griffins (24-9, 14-6 PAC) officially clinch a spot in next weekend's PAC Tournament at Bear Stadium in Boyertown. Senior Matt Martin (Pottstown, Pa./St. Pius X) went 3-for-3, knocked in two, and scored twice in an 11-8 win in game one. Sophomore Tim McMenamin (Maple Shade, N.J./Maple Shade) added two hits and three RBIs while senior Anthony Capella (Philadelphia/Roman Catholic) went 2-for-3 with a two-run triple. Trailing 3-2 going into the bottom of the third, the Griffins exploded for five runs highlighted by Capella's two-run triple and McMenamin's two-run single. After the Cougars (5-28, 4-15) clawed to 7-5 in the fifth, RBIs from McMenamin, senior J.B. Meadows (Pennsville, N.J./Pennsville) and sophomore Tim Hoban (Philadelphia/Roman Catholic) restored a five-run lead. Freshman Dan Strack's (Langhorne, Pa./Holy Ghost) RBI single in the sixth pushed the lead to 11-5. Game two saw senior Matt Daley (Philadelphia/Roman Catholic) take a no-hitter into the seventh as Gwynedd won, 7-2. Tim McMenamin had the hot bat, going 3-for-3 with a three-run home run. Junior Mark Mattes (Doylestown, Pa./C.B. East) added a solo shot and Martin added two RBIs in the win. The Cougars got a run in the fifth after leadoff walks and a sacrifice bunt put runners at second and third. A ground out allowed the runner from third to cross. Jamie Philippi broke up the no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the seventh. Daley allowed just two runs on three hits and tied a career-high with seven strikeouts. The teams will meet tomorrow in a nine-inning contest
in Dallas, Pa. starting at 1 p.m. |
