Rutgers Camden Stops Baseball, 7-1

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Suffolk's baseball's offense never got going, while Rutgers Camden capitalized on a number of Rams mishaps to take down the blue-and-gold, 7-1, Tuesday morning at Ebbets Field as part of the Ripken Experience.  

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 1 | Rutgers Camden 7 
RECORDS: Suffolk (2-2) | Rutgers Camden (3-4)  

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Scarlet Raiders put up one unearned run in every even inning through the sixth to take a 3-0 lead over the Rams.  

The teams traded runs in the eighth. Michael James Jr., who doubled to right and took third on a passed ball, came in when Garret Roberts grounded into a double play to eliminate the shutout.  

Rutgers Camden registered three runs in the next half inning to put Suffolk in a 7-1 hole. That score held at the final as Dylan Oliver kept the Rams scoreless despite allowing a walk to the first batter he faced, Marc Birbiglia.
