The No. 7 seeded Gordon College Fighting Scots traveled into Boston today to square off against the No. 6 ranked Suffolk University Rams at East Memorial Park for the Play-In Game of the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Post Season Tournament. Both sides battled through a marathon of a game, but it was Suffolk who was able to come away with the 13-12 win after 11 innings.

How It Happened

• Shane Demers brought the first run across for the blue and white as the senior hit a sacrifice fly to bring home Jonathan McIntyre in the top of the first.

• Then, in the fourth inning Suffolk matched Gordon's second inning tally by scoring six of their own for yet another lead change, 9-7.
