RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk sits sixth in the CCC with a 4-6-0 league ledger and a 10-16-0 overall record. 

Harry Painter highlights the Rams at the dish with 42 hits, 34 RBI and 22 runs scored on a .385/.438/.661. Jonny Gilbride has 29 hits, 19 RBI and a team-best 26 runs scored. Garret Roberts (15 RBI, 17 R) and Max Iorio (19 RBI, 18 R) have supplied 30 hits and 27 hits, respectively.

Caleb Piwnicki, who started against the Gulls earlier this month, is the most well-rested starter for Suffolk. He is likely to earn the nod again and brings in a 9.00 ERA over 32.0 innings in eight appearances, four starts with 25 strikeouts.  

GET TO KNOW THE GULLS
Endicott holds a 26-5 overall mark and a 10-1 CCC record. 

Three everyday starters have surpassed 40 hits for the Gulls already this year in Nicolas Notarangelo (40 H, 28 RBI, 24 R), Kyle Grabowski (41 H, 31 RBI, 39 R) and Caleb Shpur (48 H, 39 RBI, 38 R). 

Endicott's staff has combined for a 2.93 ERA. Twostarters rested over the weekend and could be next up in the Gulls' rotation in John Connolly (3.04 Era, 23.2 IP, 11 K) or Brady Stuart (2.36 ERA, 26.2 IP, 20 K).

WE MEET AGAIN
Suffolk baseball had the chance to upset No. 7/14 Endicott as it took the nationally ranked Commonwealth Coast Conference counterpart to 10 innings, but it would be the Gulls that prevailed with a 4-3, 10-inning league decision Tuesday, April 4 at North Field.
