LEESBURG, Fla.– Suffolk softball was limited to just four hits, while Westminster scored early and often to hand the Rams a 6-2 setback Friday afternoon at Sleepy Hollow at The Spring Games.  

THE BASICS
SCORE: Suffolk 2 | Westminster 6
RECORDS: Suffolk (0-2) | Westminster (5-5)  

HOW IT HAPPENED
Westminster nearly batted around in the first frame to build a four-run distance early.  

That margin grew to six with a pair of runs on a pair of hits in the Titans next turn at the plate.  

Suffolk managed to break on the board in the fourth. Julia Mills led off the inning with a single to short before she turned her wheels on to push the Rams on the board. Ashley Hubner took Turnbull's spot on the bag. The freshman pinch runner swiped third before scoring on a wild pitch to trim the gap down to four.  

Rams' reliever Cynthia Rucinski limited the Titans bat to just one hit the rest of the way, but Suffolk's scoring stopped after the fourth for the 6-2 final. 

PITCHERS PICTURE

• Lily Newhall took the loss after giving up six runs on six hits and two walks over 1.1 innings.
