Mike Weisman went the distance for North Andover and turned in a gem, striking out 12 and recovered from a three unearned runs in the first inning.
"He showed a lot of posie after that first inning," said Dulin. " He gutted it out and he was pretty dominant. They didn't hit the ball too hard after that first inning."
