RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk is back in action after a weekend off and heads to Beverly, Massachusetts, with a 7-11 overall mark and 1-1 CNE record.  

Chris Cimino (18 H, 10 RBI, 9 R), Max Martin (16 H, 10 RBI, 10 R) and Sam Armbruster (15 H, 12 RBI, 6 R) have been the biggest contributors offensively as of late, while Cole Hilliard (15 H, 9 RBI, 10 R), Alex Sorenti-Burns (15 H, 8 RBI, 15 R) and Max Iorio (13 H, 8 RBI, 12 R) have double digit hits to their credit as well.  

The Rams have been off since Thursday so their pitching rotation is well-rested for the week in Pierce Salbego (29.2 IP, 24 K, 3.34 ERA), Harry Meehan (23.0 IP, 15 K, 5.09 ERA), TJ Dimitriou (20.0 IP, 14 K, 4.95 ERA) and Nick Arnett (17.0 IP, 16 K, 4.24 ERA).  

GET TO KNOW THE GULLS
Endicott is on a five-game win streak that put it at 13-3 on the year. The Gulls are 3-0 in CNE action as it swept Nichols in a double feature and beat Gordon. All those contests were determined in seven innings via mercy rule.  

The Gulls offense is a force with 202 runs through 16 games. Joey Frammartino (28 H, 24 RBI, 20 R) and Danny MacDougall (32 H, 20 RBI, 25 R) are the top two bats, both hitting over .430. 

Like Suffolk, Endicott has been away from action since last Wednesday, when it bested the Fighting Scots, so its pitching rotation should be fresh in Nicholas Cannata (11.2 IP, 4.63 ERA, 13 K), John Connolly (17.0 IP, 4.24 ERA, 20 K), Charlie Hale (21.1 IP, 5.06 ERA, 24 K) and Brady Stuart (22.0. IP, 2.05 ERA, 23 K).
