RAMS RUNDOWN
Suffolk has rattled off three wins in a row to take a 10-17 overall mark and 3-5 CNE ledger into the week.  

The duo of Max Martin and Max Iorio have led the Rams offense as of late with 20-plus hits and 20-plus RBI to their credit. Max Martin has 25 hits, a team-best 22 RBI and 14 runs scored, while Iorio holds 24 hits, 20 RBI and 19 runs scored. Chris Cimino has produced a team-high 28 hits with 14 RBI and 15 runs scored. Colin Flynn is swift on the base paths with nine stolen bases. He has added 25 hits, 12 runs and seven RBI. 

TJ Dimitriou (26.1 IP, 4.44 ERA, 17 K) is the most well-rested started for Suffolk's staff. Harry Meehan (28.0 IP, 5.14 ERA, 17 K) will likely get the nod earlier in the week before the Rams' rotation gets reset with Nolan Drew (11.1 IP, 9 K) and John McDevitt (10.1 IP, 10 K) options as the week goes on.

Nigel Cross (45.0 IP, 3.20 ERA, 36 K) and Cooper Smith (8.0 IP, 9.00 ERA, 13 K) are the most well-rested starting pitchers for WIT.
