Suffolk went 4-7 in the Sunshine State at the RussMatt Central Florida Invitational to sit 4-9 on the year.
Four bats have double-digit hits through 13 games this season in Cole Hilliard (12), Chris Cimino (11), Sam Arbruster (10) and Max Martin (10). Hilliard is the most consistent hitter with a .353 connection rate at the plate and has the top on-base percentage of .439. RBI wise, Cimino has brought in eight runs along with Sebastian Lampert, who has plated eight on seven hits. Iorio, Max Martin and Alex Sorenti-Burns have all scored eight runs apiece.
With almost a week's rest, Suffolk's starting rotation is well-rested Nick Arnett (4.80 ERA, 15.0 IP, 15 K), TJ Dimitriou (5.25 ERA, 12.0 IP, 11 K), and Nolan Drew (4.1 IP, 4 K) are all options. Pierce Salbego (3.78 ERA, 16.2 ERA, 18 K) and Harry Meehan (5.63 ERA, 16.0 IP, 11 K) will likely be saved for this weekend.
