ALLAMUCHY, N.J. (Apr. 17, 2017)- Senior Nick Daniele (Colts Neck, N.J. / Red Bank Catholic) hit a three-run homer and posted four RBI's as the Centenary University baseball team dropped the series finale to Gwynedd-Mercy University, 10-5 on Monday afternoon.

Shaughn Wright and Nick Mulvey went 3-for-5 with two RBI's and a run scored for the Griffins who improve to 16-10-1 overall and 7-5 in the Colonial States Athletic Conference.

The Griffins led 10-0 after scoring 10 runs on 15 hits, including three runs apiece in both the second and eighth innings. Centenary finally got a run on the board in the eighth when Daniele recorded a sacrifice fly to score junior John Tierney (West Milford, N.J. / West Milford) , who led off the inning with a walk, and junior Tim Maxwell (Glen Head, N.Y. / North Shore) singled to center field that drove in Fleck.
