BOYERTOWN, PA - Gwynedd-Mercy forced the deciding game in the 2007 Pennsylvania Athletic Conference Tournament with a 10-1 win over Wesley in game six.

Three more runs scored in the seventh on a pair of RBI doubles from Mark Mattes and Tim McMenamin along with a run-scoring single off the bat of Chris Corkery for an 8-1 lead.

It was more than enough for McNamara, who retired 15 of 17 batters at one point.

Cody Pigeon and Shane Mitchell recorded the hits for the Wolverines (29-12).

Corkery and McMenamin each had two hits and two RBIs for the Griffins (29-10).
