RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk looks to snap a three-game skid that put it at 14-13 on the year and 2-6 in CCC action.  

Harry Painter and Luke Harder are the one-two punch at the plate for the blue-and-gold with 40 hits apiece. Painter is slashing .421/.476/.832 with 29 RBI and 27 runs scored. Harder, who is hitting .374, has brought in 31 runs and scored 21 himself with 11 stolen bases.  

The Rams have relied on multiple arms to get through nine innings as of late. EJ Birch (19.2 IP, 3.20 ERA, 15 K) is the most rested and will likely earn the nod this week. Steven Rossi (22.0 IP, 22 K), Nick Reiser (29.1 IP, 26 K) and Shawn Nosky (18.1 IP, 21 K) may be in the starting rotation. 

GET TO KNOW THE GULLS
Endicott (21-5, 8-0 CCC) has been on a roll as it rides a six-game win streak into Tuesday's tilt.  

Over the win streak, the Gulls have outscored their foes, 59-15. Three everyday hitters have over 40 hits through 26 games in Caleb Shpur, Jake Nardone and Nicolas Notarangelo. Shpur's bat leads the way with a slash line of .411/.480/.625 with 46 hits, 31 RBI and 36 runs scored. Nardone owns 42 hits and 37 RBI behind a .400 average with 21 runs scored. Notarangleo has brought in the most runs, 39, on 40 hits to go along with 29 runs scored. 

Endicott's staff has combined for a 3.05 ERA. Rian Schwede (42.2 IP, 3.80 ERA, 35 K) and Nicholas Cannata (30.2 IP, 2.64 ERA, 32 K) started over the weekend and Gabe Van Emon (32.2 IP, 3.03 ERA, 41 K) came out of the pen, so they are most likely side-lined Tuesday, which leaves John Connolly as the go-to starter for Gulls. Connolly holds a 3.15 ERA over 20.0 innings scattered across seven appearances, five starts. He has sat down 18 batters. Max Tarlin (22.0 IP, 6 K, 1.23 ERA) may see relief action Tuesday.

LASERS LOOK
Lasell has compiled four straight wins together as it swept double features with Rivier and Lasell to move to 15-14 on the year.  

Ross Audet leads the offense with team-best numbers in hits (30), RBI (23), runs scored (24) and stolen bases (8). Bryan Baumann (29 H, 18 RBI, 18 R) and Matthew Bischof (27 H, 22 RBI, 18 R) and Vaun Larisa (27 H, 13 RBI, 18 R) are threats at the dish as well. 

The Lasers staff will be rested for Suffolk with starters Chris O'Connor (20.0 IP, 4.95 ERA, 3 K), Darek Lallo (19.2 IP, 5.95 ERA, 14 K) and CJ Mills (16.1 IP, 7.71 ERA, 15 K) all options for Wednesday. Vaun Larisa (15.1 IP, 2.30 ERA, 24 K) will most likely make an appearance as a reliever.
