HOW IT HAPPENED
The Golden Bears hit early and often to take a 3-0 lead after the first frame with the lead blossoming to six runs, 6-0, after four complete innings. After a scoreless fifth, WNE stretched its lead even more going ahead 15-0.
Suffolk put its offense in motion in the bottom of the seventh. Matt Brenner's double led off the inning with an error advancing the senior catcher to third. Two hitters later, a fielder's choice let Brenner strut in to end the shutout.
After an additional pair of Golden Bears came in in the eighth, Tommy Shimchak notched an RBI single to bring in Suffolk's second run of the day and end the scoring on the afternoon.
