HOW IT HAPPENED
The Opserys opened the scoring in the first with two runs and added another pair in the fourth to put Suffolk in a four-run hole.
In an attempt to get back in the contest, the Rams put one run on the board in the top of the fifth. Payton Sylvester scored what would be Suffolk's only run on the night as the freshman, who reached on a double, came in on a fielder's choice with Jaclyn Flint earning the RBI.
Stockton responded with three runs in the home half the inning and added another for good measure in the sixth to make it an 8-1 margin. The Osperys held any type of Rams comeback in the opening half of the seventh to secure the victory.
