LOWELL — Lawrence got a taste of what a championship may feel like last season, and now they want more.

There is no doubt that last year's crushing 6-4 loss in 11 innings to Chelmsford in the Division 1 North championship stung. But the Lancers know what it takes to win, and that has become their motto. Just keep winning. 

Sophomore Jairo Vasquez only allowed two hits in his complete-game shutout for Lawrence, and they were both to Central Catholic's Kyle Coolidge.

Jairo Vasquez allowed just a single hit, walked one and struck out 16 as Lawrence beat Haverhill 8-0. The Lancers scored all their runs in the first inning.

Brendan Parisotto became the first 5-game winner in the region, four-hitting Lawrence as MVC-leading North Andover improved to 9-1 with an 8-4 win. Parisotto carried a two-hit shutout into the seventh, before he got knicked up a bit. He fanned five.

Alexander Almonte blasted a three-run homer out of the park to center field, and finished the day with six RBIs as Lawrence rolled to a 19-4 win over Malden.

Abel Acosta scattered nine hits and struck out six in a complete game 5-0 Lawrence win over Tewksbury. Jordally Vasquez drove in two runs.
