RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has compiled an eight-game win streak, its longest since March 21-31, 2019, to sit 23-13 overall and 8-5 in CCC contests.  

The Rams' 303-run offense has been powered by upperclassmen Harry Painter (50 H, 39 RBI, 42 R), Jonny Gilbride (54 H, 46 RBI, 45 R), Garret Roberts (47 H, 31 RBI, 40 R), Alex Sorenti-Burns (36 H, 38 RBI, 33 R) and Max Iorio (33 H, 31 RBI, 28 R).  

Suffolk used staff days on Sunday to keep its usual starting arms fresh for its final conference contest of the regular season. Roberts (5.77 ERA, 48.1 IP, 37 K) and Brett Bucklin (2.28 ERA, 47.1 IP, 35 K) are fresh to go on Tuesday.  

FIGHTING SCOTS FACTS
Gordon has fell in five straight games to hold a 7-28 overall mark and 2-9 CCC ledger.  

CJ Demers has produced 43 hits on a .350 batting average with 32 RBI and 34 runs scored. Andrew Hartman and Jonathan McIntyre have been consistent contributors to the Fighting Scots as well. Hartman has 39 hits, 26 RBI and 21 runs scored. McIntyre has supplied 31 hits, 21 RBI and 24 runs.
