NORTH ANDOVER - Mike Weisman's emotions had nowhere to hide.

As the hit-free innings piled up in last night's Lawrence Invitational Tournament opener, the new Mark Devlin Field's scoreboard kept driving the point home.

Shawn Carlson improved to 5-0 on the year, striking out 12 and walking two in seven innings of two-hit ball in Andover's 7-2 win over Masconomet. Batting out of the leadoff spot, Jake Ponti went 2 for 4 with two runs scored, and three-hole batter Dan Gusovsky drove in a pair.

Pentucket was homer happy against Masconomet hitting three shots, but unfortunately the Sachems did not have anyone on base at the time. Jordan Silva was 3 for 4 with two home runs, Chris Modlish was 2 for 4 with a homer, and Dan Johanson was 3 for 4.

NORTH ANDOVER — All those wins, all those years of service and North Andover High treats Mike Valentino just like any other Chieftain.

Valentino, the former Knight diamond great and assistant coach, now in his first year at the helm of rival Masconomet Regional, saw his new club take one on the chin, 8-3, yesterday in the early season Cape Ann League Large showdown.
