RAMS RUNDOWN
After sweeping Curry on Saturday, Suffolk moved to 12-20 on the year. At home, the Rams sport a 6-5 ledger. 

Offensively, Harry Painter has led the way for the Rams with 48 hits, including 19 extra-base knocks, for 37 RBI and 25 runs scored. Garret Roberts has supplied 33 hits, 20 RBI and 28 runs scored and Garret Roberts has produced 34 hits, 16 RBI and 21 runs scored. 

On the bump, starters Roberts (5.17 ERA, 40.0 IP, 30 K), Painter (7.16 ERA, 27.2 IP, 31 K) and Caleb Piwnicki (7.82 ERA, 38.0 IP, 30 K) are all well rested. 

FIGHTING SCOTS FACTS
Gordon splits its double feature with Roger Williams on Saturday to sit 13-25 on the year. 

CJ Demers and Shane Demers are on the verge of 50 hits with 49 apiece. The latter has brought in a team-best 33 runs and scored 37 himself, while the latter has 29 RBI and 41 runs scored to his credit. 

The Fighting Scots used a bull pen day in game one versus the Hawks to keep their arms fresh for Monday's matchup. Tyler Sprince (3.58 ERA, 50.1 IP, 42 K), Brandon Bloom (9.17 ERA, 35.1 IP, 13 K) and Brett Moore (10.93 ERA, 28.0 IP, 18 K) will likely see some time on the hill for Gordon. 

WE MEET AGAIN
Suffolk and Gordon split the regular-season meetings. The Rams ran past the Fighting Scots in Eastie, 16-6, in eight innings April 11, but fell a week ago, May 3, in Wenham, Massachusetts, 6-3.
