LAST TIME OUT
Suffolk baseball snapped a four-game skid thanks to Cole Hilliard's a one-run double in the bottom of the 10th to send the Rams to a 7-6 Conference of New England (CNE) victory over Western New England Tuesday afternoon at East Boston Memorial Park. The graduate student's extra base hit broke a 6-all tie that saw the score even up in the ninth inning after the blue-and-gold held onto an advantage for most of the action.
