RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk fell in back-to-back double features with Endicott last weekend to dip to 5-11 on the year and 3-5 in CCC contests.
The Rams, who look for their first win in April in 2021, have been propelled offensively by Leina Belog, Ally Cifaratta, Caitlin Murphy and Ashley Zulla. Cifaratta and Murphy each have 20 hits. The latter has 14 RBI, while the latter has scored 16 runs herself to go along with 14 stolen bases, a team-best. Zulla, meanwhile, leads the way in RBI with 18 behind 19 hits. The senior catcher has scored 12 times herself. Belog rounds out the quartet with 16 hits, including four jacks, for 15 RBI.
In the circle, Constance Phelan and Kennedy Reyes have been Suffolk's go-to starters. Phelan holds a 3.70 ERA over 41.2 innings of work with 21 Ks, while Reyes has registered a 4.67 ERA with 36 punchouts in 42.0 innings.

Endicott outscored the Rams, 43-9, over four games in which the ball went over the fence seven times off four different bats. Katie Watts seems to be the offensive leader with seven hits including two homers, for a squad-high nine RBI. Lauren Misiaszek, who hit one jack, is right behind with eight hits and five RBI. Raven Comtois and Meghan Connor round out the Gulls top four hitters with six hits each.
Four different twirlers took the rubber against the Rams. Michaela Hamill got the start twice and brings in an unblemished ERA of 0.00 with eight Ks and two complete-game victories. In 6.2 innings Marisa Hanchuk has assembled a 1.05 ERA with a staff-best 10 punchouts. Jaylin Couto (7.00 ERA, 2 Ks) and Gwen Stafford (9.00 ERA, 5Ks) has seen action as well.
