The Greyhounds non-conference match at Arcadia University for Thursday, March 20th has been postponed due to poor field conditions. The contest has been rescheduled for Monday, March 31st at 4:00 p.m. at Arcadia.

Moravian won its second home match of the season and moved over .500 five matches into the season for the first time in the brief six-year history of the program with a 20-16 non-conference win over NCAA Division II Chestnut Hill College on the HUB Quad. The three victories also equal the most in a single season for the Greyhound program in the six years the sport has had varsity status. The 20 goals are also the most Moravian has scored in a single match since the program began.

Moravian jumped out to a 1-0 lead just 1:11 in the contest on a goal by sophomore attack Jillian Pagliei (Ivyland, PA/Council Rock North). The match would remain close with the Griffins tying the score twice at 1-1 and 3-3. Moravian would take the lead for good, 4-3, on a goal by sophomore midfielder Lynda Kauffman (Boothwyn, PA/Chichester) at the 10:21 mark. The Greyhounds largest lead of the game was 11-6 late in the first half, and Moravian headed to the intermission with a 12-8 advantage. In the second half, the closest Chestnut Hill would get was two goals at 17-15 with just under nine minutes remaining in the contest. Moravian had a 44-30 advantage in shots and a 31-17 edge in ground balls while both teams won 19 draw controls.

Kauffman led the Greyhounds with a career high nine points, just one shy of the single match record, with six goals and three assists, which tied the school mark. Senior midfielder Erica Spatz (Pennsauken, NJ/Pennsauken) also netted six goals for Moravian to go with an assist, five ground balls, four draw controls and three caused turnovers. Kauffman had a team high five draw controls while Pagliei had two goals, four ground balls and three draw controls. Junior attack Georgia Castellano (Cherry Hills, NJ/Cherry Hill West) and senior midfielder Casey Simpson () each found the back of the cage twice in the Greyhound victory while sophomore midfielder Paige Warbrick (Souderton, PA/Souderton Area) and freshman midfielder Sarah Carman (Perkasie, PA/Pennridge) each had goals. Freshman midfielder Maureen Helfers (Westbury, NY/W.T. Clarke) added an assist while Carman added five ground balls and a pair of caused turnovers.

            Moravian snapped a three-game losing streak with an 8-3 victory over rival Muhlenberg College in non-conference action at Cedarcreek Field. The Greyhounds would jump out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Junior first baseman Joseph Durso (Middletown, NJ/Christian Brother Academy) led off the inning with a single through the left side of the infield and junior designated hitter Thomas Czarnecki (Columbia, NJ/North Warren) singled through the right side. Durso and Czarnecki moved into scoring position on a passed ball, and after freshman catcher Jon Baltz (Easton, PA/Easton) was hit by a pitch, senior second baseman Brett Stout (Easton, PA/Easton) hit a two-RBI single up the middle to score Durso and Czarnecki. Junior outfielder Eric Shea (Madison, NJ/Morristown Beard) would deliver a two-out RBI single to right center field to score junior Michael LaVerghetta (Center Valley, PA/Southern Lehigh), who had come into run for Baltz.

Moravian extended its lead to 6-0 with three more runs in the top of the third inning. Junior shortstop Kevin Gambrino (Brick, NJ/Monsignor Donovan) singled with one out and moved up to second base when Durso was hit by a pitch. After a grounder by Czarnecki that saw everyone safe and load the bases for the Greyhounds, Gambrino scored on a wild pitch and Durso crossed the plate on a balk. Czarnecki would score the final run of the inning on an RBI sacrifice fly by LaVerghetta.

The Greyhounds added a pair of runs in the top of the sixth inning to build an 8-0 lead. LaVerghetta led off with an infield single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Stout.

Muhlenberg added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. John Kalis led off the inning with a single to left field and moved to second on a wild pitch. Kalis then moved to third on a fly out by Joseph DeCecilia before scoring on an RBI infield single by Lynch. Another Moravian error on a ground ball hit by Mario Fiorentini would allow Lynch to move to third base where he scored from on an RBI single to center field by Eric Hammond.

Moravian had ten hits in the game with Shea going three-for-five and Stout going two-for-three to lead the Greyhounds. Both Shea and Stout also had two RBIs. The Mules had ten hits in the contest with Hammond going three-for-five and Bobby Spindler collecting two hits.

            The Greyhounds' non-conference game versus Keystone College at Gillespie Field for Wednesday, March 19th has been postponed due to inclement weather and poor field conditions. The game has not been rescheduled at this time.

 

The Greyhounds won their first Landmark Conference game of the 2008 season, defeating the United States Merchant Marine Academy, 15-9, in a game shortened to seven innings due to darkness to open the three-game Landmark Conference series. Even though Moravian had batted in the eighth inning, NCAA rules dictate that the game revert back to the end of the seventh inning and no statistics count from the eighth since the Mariners were unable to complete their at-bat before darkness forced the umpires to call the game.

Moravian jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Junior outfielder Eric Shea drew walk to lead off the game and stole second base. Junior shortstop Kevin Gambrino would reach on an error with one out but was thrown out on the play as Shea scored. Junior first baseman Joseph Durso then connected on a solo home run to right center field, his first homer of the season.

U.S. Merchant Marine would tie the game with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the first inning. Mike Bybee would hit an RBI single up the middle for the Mariners while Brandon Scott hit an RBI sacrifice fly to score the other run.

The Greyhounds would retake a two-run lead in the top of the second inning. Sophomore outfielder Brad Bodine (Mt. Bethel, PA/Bangor) reached on an error to lead off the inning and eventually scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by senior second baseman Brett Stout. Shea would then reach on an error by the Mariners that allowed freshman third baseman Jake Schweitzer (Bethlehem, PA/Bethlehem Catholic HS) to score. Schweitzer had singled through the right side earlier in the inning.

Again, U.S. Merchant Marine tied the game at 4-4 in the bottom half of the second inning with two more runs with Bybee driving in both runs with a two-RBI double.

Moravian took the lead for good with five runs in the top of the third inning to build a 9-4 lead. Gambrino and Durso both walked to lead off the inning and wild pitches would put them at second and third. Junior outfielder Josh Hinkle (Allentown, PA/Allentown Central Catholic) hit a two-RBI double to left field to score Gambrino and Durso, and Hinkle would move to third on another wild pitch. Hinkle eventually scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by Schweitzer that also moved Bodine, who had walked and stole second base, to third. Junior catcher Thomas Czarnecki then followed with an RBI single down the left field line to score Bodine, and Czarnecki would cross the plate on an RBI single up the middle by Shea.

The Greyhounds would add another run in the top of the fifth inning for a 10-4 lead. Schweitzer would lead off the inning by reaching on a U.S. Merchant Marine error and then move to second on a ground out by Czarnecki. After a wild pitch moved Schweitzer to third base, he scored on an RBI single up the middle by Shea.

The Mariners would cut the Moravian lead to 10-6 with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the fifth inning. Dylan Tumblin had an RBI double while Alex Wolfe added an RBI single for U.S. Merchant Marine.

Moravian pushed three runs across the plate in the top of the sixth inning to take a 13-6 lead. Durso singled up the middle to lead off the inning, and Bodine singled with one out to put a pair of runners on base. Schweitzer then singled up the middle and an error in the Mariner outfield allowed all three Greyhounds to score.

U.S. Merchant Marine would get the three runs back in the bottom of the sixth inning cutting the Greyhound advantage back to 13-9, which ended up being the final score. Bybee had an RBI single for the Mariners while the other two runs scored on a Moravian error on a ball hit by Brandon Scott.

The Greyhounds would add two more runs in the top of the seventh inning for a 15-9 lead. Durso hit his second double of the game with an out, and Hinkle reached on a error by the Mariners, their seventh of the game. A wild pitch moved Durso and Hinkle up 90 feet where Durso scored on an RBI ground out by Bodine. Hinkle came across the plate on another wild pitch to finish off the scoring.

U.S. Merchant Marine did not complete the bottom half of the eighth inning before the umpires called the game for darkness at 7:10 p.m., NCAA rules stipulate that the eighth inning doesn't count and the game reverts back to the end of the seventh inning since the second team at-bat was trailing and didn't complete the inning.

Moravian had 13 hits in the game with Durso going four-for-four, and Shea, Schweitzer and Stout each collecting two hits. U.S. Merchant Marine had ten hits in the contest with Bybee going three-for-four with four RBIs.

Sophomore Joe Melchionna (Marlboro, NJ/St. John Vianney) improved to 4-1 on the mound this season for the Greyhounds, allowing six runs, just two of them earned, on nine hits and a walk with four strikeouts in five innings of action. Sophomore Zachary Andes (Moscow, PA/North Pocono) tossed two innings for Moravian, allowing three runs, none of them earned, on a hit and three walks with one strikeout.

 

Moravian won its third straight game and opened a Landmark Conference doubleheader at the United States Merchant Marine Academy with a 12-4 victory. The Greyhounds jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning and would not trail in the game. Junior outfielder Eric Shea hit an infield single to lead off the contest before freshman designated hitter Jason Huber singled through the right side. Junior shortstop Kevin Gambrino drew a walk to load the bases for Moravian to set up a two-RBI double by junior first baseman Joseph Durso that scored Shea and Huber. Junior outfielder Josh Hinkle was hit by a pitch to load the bases again for the Greyhounds before sophomore outfielder Brad Bodine grounded into an RBI fielder's choice scoring Gambrino. Freshman catcher Jon Baltz also hit into an RBI fielder's choice to score Durso with the final run of the inning.

The Mariners would get on the scoreboard with three runs in the bottom of the third inning to cut Moravian's lead to 4-3. Mike Bybee hit a two-RBI single for U.S. Merchant Marine while the final run of the inning scored on a Moravian error.

The contest was scoreless until the Greyhounds erupted for seven runs in the top of the fifth inning, the second time this season that Moravian has scored seven runs in an inning. Durso led off the inning with a single through the right side of the infield and moved to second on a passed ball. Hinkle followed with an RBI double to left centerfield to score Durso, and Hinkle would cross the plate on an RBI infield single by Bodine. Bodine would move over to second base on a passed ball and scored on an RBI double to left centerfield by freshman third baseman Jake Schweitzer. Senior second baseman Brett Stout followed with an RBI double to center field scoring Schweitzer, and Stout, who advanced to third base on a wild pitch, crossed the plate as the Mariners attempted to through out Shea, who stole second base after drawing a walk. Shea eventually scored on an RBI single to left field by Durso, and Gambrino would score the final run of the inning on an RBI single up the middle by Hinkle.

Moravian extended its lead to 12-3 with a run in the top of the sixth inning. Baltz led of the inning with a single to left field and moved to second on an error in the Mariner outfield. A ground out by Schweitzer moved Baltz to third where he scored on an RBI single to right field by Stout.

U.S. Merchant Marine would score once in the bottom of the seventh inning on an RBI single by Jeff Schwind. The Mariners had nine hits in the game with Schwind going two-for-three. The Greyhounds pounded out a season high 17 hits in the victory led by Durso, who was four-for-five with three RBIs and the 24th double of his career. Hinkle was three-for-four while Shea, Schweitzer and Stout were each two-for-four for Moravian.

Greyhound sophomore Christopher Morrison (Middlesex, NJ/Immaculata) improved to 3-1 on the mound this season, allowing three runs, two of them earned, on six hits and three walks with a career high nine strikeouts in five innings of action. Junior Thomas Murray tossed the final two innings for Moravian, giving up an unearned run on three hits.

 

The Greyhounds earned a sweep of a Landmark Conference doubleheader and a three-game series at the United States Merchant Marine Academy with an 11-5 victory. The win was the fourth straight for Moravian.

Moravian took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when junior outfielder Eric Shea doubled to left centerfield to lead off the game, moved to third on a ground out by junior outfielder Josh Hinkle and scored on an RBI sacrifice fly by junior shortstop Kevin Gambrino.

The Mariners tied the game in the bottom of the second inning on an RBI ground out by Brad Rakoce. U.S. Merchant Marine would take its first lead of the three-game series with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to lead 3-1. Dylan Tumblin and Rakoce had RBI singles in the inning for the Mariners.

The Greyhounds cut the lead back to 3-2 with a run in the top of the fifth inning. Sophomore outfielder David Lengyel (Bethlehem, PA/Freedom) led off the inning with a single up the middle, and he moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by freshman third baseman Jake Schweitzer. Freshman catcher Jon Baltz then connected on an RBI single up the middle to score Lengyel.

U.S. Merchant Marine extended its lead to 5-2 with two more runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Brandon Scott had an RBI single for the Mariners while Tumblin had an RBI sacrifice fly.

Moravian would retake its lead, 7-5, with a five-run sixth inning. Gambrino doubled to left field with two outs and no one on base to start the five-run rally for the Greyhounds. Durso hit an RBI single up the middle to score Gambrino, and Lengyel followed with an RBI. Schweitzer struck out swinging but the ball got away from the Mariner catcher and with Durso and Lengyel running on the pitch, the throw to first sailed into right field allowing Durso to score. Baltz followed with a ground ball to the left side of the infield but a pair of U.S. Merchant Marine errors allowed Baltz to reach second base and Lengyel and Schweitzer to score. Baltz would cross the plate when sophomore designated hitter Brad Bodine reached on the Mariners' fourth error of the inning.

The Greyhounds added four more runs in the top of the sixth inning to take an 11-5 lead. Hinkle doubled to left centerfield with one out to get Moravian going, and he scored on an RBI single up the middle by Gambrino. Durso was hit by a pitch before he and Gambrino pulled off a double steal. Lengyel would reach on a U.S. Merchant Marine error that scored Gambrino.
