HOW IT HAPPENDED
Delaney Sylvester started things off in the top of the second for Suffolk with a one-out solo shot to put the Rams on the board. Two innings later, three Rams runs came in. Jill Pulek, who led off with a single, advanced to second and took third on a ground out to short by Sylvester.  A Falcons error let Pulek come in and Eucalitto's triple to right center scored Frost to keep the rally going. Lindsay Pagano plated Eucalitto with a single to make it a 4-0 Suffolk game after 3.5 frames. 

In the top of the fifth, Ashley Zulla barreled a homer and Eucalitto collected her second RBI of the day with a single to center field that scored Pulek, who reached on a single once again, stretch Suffolk's lead to 6-0. 

Albertus Magnus held the Rams in the seventh and put one on the board in the home half of the inning. Suffolk kept the Falcons quiet from there to grab the 6-1 triumph.
