HOW IT HAPPENED
 A quiet first was followed by two-runs in the second and third, respectively by the Rams to put the hosts in front 4-0. With two down in the second, Lindsay Pagano drew a walk to keep the inning alive. An error by the Lasers advanced the runner to third and Karina Miranda brought the two home with a single up the middle. 

An inning later, Delaney Sylvester marked her second straight game with a jack as the junior catcher went yard and scored Jill Pulek, who doubled down the left line in the process, to push Suffolk's lead to 4-0. 

Suffolk stretched things even further in the bottom of the sixth. Evelyn Marquis led off with a single up and the middle and advanced to second a sac bunt from Pagano. Morgan Parmeter's single to short placed Marquis in prime scoring position on third. As Parmeter went to snag second, the runner had the Lasers attention allowing Marquis to come in to make it a 5-0 Rams game.
