LAST TIME OUT
Suffolk softball willed its way back into the win column, answering every time Endicott got in ahead as Ashley Zulla wore the hero cape to help the Rams walk-off, 11-10, in eight innings in the closer of a non-conference twinbill Wednesday night at East Boston Memorial Park.

RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk returned to the win column Wednesday night with an extra-inning walk-off win over Endicott to move to 6-12 overall. The Rams sit 3-5 in CCC contests.
Offensively, Ashley Zulla has 20-plut hits and RBI to lead the way in both categories with 24 knocks, including six for extra bases, and 22 RBI. The senior catcher has scored 14 times as well. Caitlin Murphy is also a consistent contributor with 22 hits, 20 runs scored and 14 stolen bases.
Constance Phelan and Kennedy Reyes are Suffolk's go-to starters. Phelan holds a 4.08 ERA with 24 strikeouts over 48.0 innings, while Reyes brings in a 4.70 ERA and 40 punchouts over 47.2 innings. Leina Belog relieves the Rams in the circle. The sophomore has sat down 22 hitters in 18.1 frames.
LEOPARDS LOOK
Wentworth hasn't taken the field since falling to Suffolk March 27. The Leopards are still in search of their first win this season as they sit 0-4 overall and 0-2 in CCC contests.
Kayla DeMedeiros has been the most productive at the plate as the senior has put together a slash line of .750/.750/.750 with a team-high six hits. Kaitlin Pettenger is second on the squad with five hits to go with two runs scored and one RBI. The trio of Briana Beverly, Annabelle Hebard and Brionna Myers have contributed four hits and one run scored each with Myers brining in a team-high two runs.
Pitching wise, WIT has three different twirlers. Once again DeMedeiros leads the way with 16.0 innings of action and a 3.94 ERA. Erin Hancock (6.2 IP, 9.45 ERA) is the Leopards other starter with Aurora Wilks also in the rotation.
