With North Andover softball coach Brian Martim ill with possible vertigo, interim coach Steve Long won his second straight game, 7-1 over Masconomet. Sara McCarthy and Haley Kosheff were both 3 for 3 with two runs scored for the Knights.

Senior captain Lexie Corso was a thorn in pitcher Julianne Meehan's side with three hits, but no other Masconomet hitters could break through as Pentucket avenged an opening-day loss with a vengeance, 10-0. Meehan had 10 strikeouts on the day and added a double offensively as did sisters Bernadette and Mary Kate Corrado. The Sachems now need just one more victory in their last three games to qualify for state tourney play.

Tori Newbury reached first on an error, advanced to second on a walk and scored on a perfectly-placed bloop single by Amy Cronin in the seventh inning that gave Georgetown a 7-6 walkoff victory over Masconomet.

Sophomore Kim Crucioli struck out eight and the top half of the North Andover lineup was on fire in a 7-5 victory over Masconomet. Leadoff hitter Sara McCarthy, also a sophomore, had three hits and scored three times while junior Gwen Vozeolas drove in three runs with her pair of singles. Eight of the Knights' 11 hits were delivered by underclassmen.
