Knights Baseball Wins Ninth in a Row

Patch’s Athlete of the Week was a one man show for the Knights baseball team yesterday. The southpaw starter was all over the field for the Knights in an impressive 3-1 victory over North Reading on Saturday.

Weisman, committed to Columbia University for college, struck out nine batters in the game. He gave up only one unearned run. The lefty gave up only five hits in his complete game effort.

With the bat, Weisman provided all the offense North Andover would need. He ripped three hits and had a pair of RBIs. Brandon Walsh was the other Knight to record an RBI for North Andover.

North Andover won its ninth game in a row as it improved to 9-1. The Knights are perfect this season within the Cape Ann League. Next up for the Knights is Ipswich High. The Knights will host Ipswich tomorrow afternoon at 3:45 p.m.

Halfway through their season, the Knights are firing on all cylinders. After Tuesday’s game against Ipswich, the Knights travel to Newburyport on Thursday.  

North Andover is currently ranked at #8 in the state by the Boston Globe and #17 in the state by ESPNBoston.com
