Gwynedd Mercy Baseball Preview 2019
Gwynedd Mercy pieced together eight hits but struggled to manufacture runs on Sunday afternoon in a 7-2 loss to No. 24 Salisbury at Sea Gull Baseball Stadium in Salisbury, Md. in the season opener for both programs.

Junior right-hander R.J. Boyle pitched well to open the contest for the Griffins, tossing four innings while surrendering one run on two hits. He walked two and struck out one.

The Griffins evened the contest in the sixth at 1-1 with an RBI-single to left from senior Jason Mulvey, scoring senior Justin Curtin who reached earlier in the frame after being hit by a pitch. The Sea Gulls answered in the bottom of the frame with three runs of their own though to put the game out of reach.
