MANCHESTER, N.H. — Londonderry starter Kasey Carollo fell to the ground in pain when a line drive up the middle drilled him in the ankle in the sixth inning. 

With a rare first-inning safety squeeze bunt in yesterday's Class L semifinal win over defending champion Keene, coach Brent Demas sent a simple message to his Londonderry High baseball team.

With a rare first-inning safety squeeze bunt in yesterday's Class L semifinal win over defending champion Keene, coach Brent Demas sent a simple message to his Londonderry High baseball team.

Londonderry’s C.J. Flanders hit a two-run shot and Alvirne committed two costly errors in a seven-run fifth inning as the Lancers toasted Alvirne 13-3 in a mercy-ruled win on Saturday in the Class L quarterfinals.

Dan Lagasse powered the Londonderry offense from the top of the order, contributing two hits including a double, a stolen base and a pair of RBIs in a Class L opening round 6-3 victory over Concord. Dan Kinnon went 3 for 3 with a double and an RBI for the Lancers, who have now won eight of their last nine.

C.J. Flanders blasted a two-run homer and added an RBI double as Londonderry downed Dover 6-4. 

Jake Finnegan was a run-producing machine as Londonderry pounced on Pinkerton, 12-5. The senior had an RBI double in the first inning, a two-run single in the second, a run-scoring base hit in the third and a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Sophomore Dan Kinnon had two doubles and two RBIs while winning pitcher Geoff Fisher added a triple.

Londonderry's Kasey Carollo was sick last week but seemed 100 percent with his complete-game 4-2 win over Alvirne. Jake Cassidy homered and tripled.

Lefty Jake Finnegan came up huge on the hill, striking out 13 and walking just two in a six-hitter for Londonderry in a win at Keene. Only one of the Blackbird runs was earned. Jake Cassidy's two-run double and D.J. Reed's two-run triple highlighted a five-run Lancer fourth inning uprising.
