Baseball Downs Griffins 17-7 to Take Weekend Series

Scranton, Pa. - Marywood University closed the weekend on a strong note as the Pacers downed Gwynedd Mercy University 17-7 in Atlantic East baseball action, giving the Pacers the series win.  Marywood improved to 6-13 (3-12 AEC) with the win.

An RBI sac fly from John Mandarano opened the scoring in the home half of the first as he brought home Morgan Theobald with his fly out to right field.  Gwynedd took a 2-1 lead in the top half of the second on a two-run homer, but Ben Gravel would score on a wild pitch in the bottom of the second to tie things up a 2-2.

Gwynedd looked to be in charge with a three-run third, but the Pacers got an RBI double from Ben Gravel in the fourth to make it 5-3 then plated four in the sixth to take a 7-5 lead. 

Highlighted by a Scott Becker three-run homer to right, Marywood exploded for a 10-run eighth to put the game away.

James Myers went 3-for-4 with a double, triple, three RBI and three runs scored to help Marywood offensively.  Becker finished with four RBI while Shane Smith and Matthew Ortiz both had two.

Michael Aronica (2-2) got the win, striking out nine while allowing two earned runs over six innings. Tyler Quick struck out five and allowed just one hit to earn his first save of the year.

Marywood closes their season next weekend with a three-game series against Neumann. The Pacers will host the Knights Friday at 3:00 pm to begin the series.
