RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk aims to snap a three-game skid that put the team at 7-14 on the year and 1-4 in CNE contests.  

The foursome of Sam Armbruster (17 H, 12 RBI, 6 R), Chris Cimino (23 H, 12 RBI, 9 R), Max Martin (20 H, 12 RBI, 10 R) and Max Iorio (16 H, 10 RBI, 12 R) have been the biggest offensive contributors this season with double-digit hits and RBI to their credits. Cole Hilliard (16 H, 9 RBI, 11 R) and Alex Sorenti-Burns (16 H, 8 RBI, 15 R) have also contributed to Suffolk's scoring unit as well. 

Nick Arnett (19.0 IP, 16 K, 7.58 ERA) and TJ Dimitriou (20.0 IP, 14 K, 4.95 ERA) are likely to get one of the nods this week. Nolan Drew (8.1 IP, 8 K) is an option to get a start as well.
