RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk moved to 17-13 on the season after being swept by Emmanuel Wednesday. In CCC contests, the Rams are 7-3, good for third in the league standings.  

Ava Brandow's and Jolie Quintana's bats are responsible for bringing in 33.3 percent of the Rams 138 runs. Brandow owns a team-best 26 RBI behind 33 hits, good for a share of second on the squad with Ally Cifaratta. Quintana, meanwhile, has 20 RBI to her credit thanks to 31 hits, including 21 doubles. Caitlin Murphy is a consistent contributor to the offense with a squad-high 34 hits, 24 runs scored, 18 stolen bases and 12 RBI on a .395 batting average.  

Jenny Jacob has proven herself as the blue-and-gold's ace. The junior boasts a 1.15 ERA over 66.2 innings with 81 strikeouts. Kennedy Reyes (3.84 ERA, 27.1 IP, 16 K) is likely to get some time in the circle over the weekend, possibly a start. Alexa White (3.10 ERA, 29.1 IP, 22 K) is hopefully an option as well on the rubber.

LEOPARDS LOOK
Wentworth rides an eight-game win streak into Saturday's showdown that has helped the Leopards build a 20-8 overall record and 8-2 league ledger.

Erin Hanock and Kayla DeMedeiros are the Leopard's one-two pitchers. Hancock holds a 2.27 ERA over 83.1 innings pitched with 78 strikeouts. DeMedeiros boasts a 3.09 ERA over 63.1 innings with 24 punchouts. Jess Rowe has seen some starts, but comes on in relief mostly and brings in a 3.04 ERA in her 25.1 innings of work.
