Still battling an ankle injury, Shawn Carlson delivered five innings of one-hit ball, leading Andover to a 7-0 drubbing of Swampscott on Saturday. Carlson struck out 10 and did not walk a batter, while allowing just the one hit. Zach Burdeau led Post 8, going 3 for 3 with a double, two RBIs and a run. Andrew Ruiz-Henriquez added a triple and scored a run and Mike Taylor drove in a pair for the winners (6-0)

John Farrell and Robin Lowe combined on a two-hitter as Andover continued to roll by crushing Danvers 8-0 last Wednesday. Farrell started and allowed the two hits, striking out five. Lowe followed with two perfect innings of relief, striking out three.

John Hennessy paced Post 8, going 2 for 4 with three RBIs. Mike Yastrzemki added two hits and drove in a run and Zach Burdeau and Vince Bellino each contributed an RBI for the winners.

Andover picked up another victory by forfeit, as Lawrence did not have enough players to field a team.
