RAMS RUNDOWN
With six games remaining on its calendar, Suffolk (17-14) looks to add to its 7-3 league ledger and secure a spot in the upcoming 2019 GNAC Tournament. 

Caitlin Murphy's offensive output has powered the Rams at the plate as the rookie bats .432 with 38 hits, 11 RBI, 25 runs scored and 21 stolen bases. Jaclyn Flint is a consistent contributor at the plate with the senior batting .417 and team-leading numbers in hits (40) and RBI (24) to go along with 16 runs scored.  

Kennedy Reyes has recorded a staff-low 3.00 ERA in her first collegiate campaign. The freshman twirler has given up 30 earned runs over 70.0 innings of work off 67 hits with 38 punchouts. Hannah DelCervo(52.1 IP, 5.35 ERA, 30 K) and Constance Phelan (52.0 IP, 5.65 ERA, 28 K) are also in Suffolk's starting rotation. 

AMCATS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Anna Maria has fallen in three in a row to dip to 3-18 on the year and 0-10 against conference competition.
