Junior Brendan Shea will attempt to recapture the pitching magic he conjured up against Beverly High six days ago under the lights tonight in Lowell as he leads his Belmont High School teammates against favorites Danvers High School in the semi-finals of the Division 2 North Sectionals.

The game will start at Alumni Field in Lowell at 7 p.m. Directions are below.

"We're not going to change the way we've been playing all year. We don't play the opponent but the situation," said Belmont's Head Coach Jim Brown. 

The semifinals is the farthest Belmont (13-9) has come in the MIAA plays in the past five years. After its 2-0 victory last Friday, Belmont defeated Wayland High School on Tuesday behind a nine-strikeout performance by senior Mike Richardson. 

Danvers needed extra-innings to defeat Reading High School, 7-6, in the quarterfinals Tuesday. 

Two years ago, Belmont was beat by Danvers, 5-2, in the first-round of the Sectionals.
