EAST BOSTON – Suffolk baseball's bats never figured out the Gulls pitching staff as No. 1 Endicott blanked the Rams, 12-0, in seven innings in a Commonwealth Coast Conference contest at East Boston Memorial Park Tuesday afternoon.  

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 0 | #1 Endicott 12
RECORDS: Suffolk (15-13, 4-5 CCC) | #1 Endicott (25-2, 10-1 CCC)  

HOW IT HAPPENED
The top-ranked Gulls batted around in the first frame to build a six-run lead that turned into double figures in the second. 

Two more runs for Endicott in the third extended the edge to a dozen. That score remained the rest of the way as Suffolk's bats were limited to four hits and just nine base runners through the seven-inning showdown.
