DEDHAM - Ben Hastings worked six solid innings and Chuck Erickson provided the big blow offensively as the Foxboro American Legion baseball team won for the second day in a row, edging out Dedham 2-1 Tuesday.

Hastings, a Norton High School product, spread out eight hits over his six innings of work, striking out five without walking a batter. Joe Swindells, out of Mansfield, worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh - with two strikeouts - to shut the door on Dedham and pick up the save.

Post 93 got all the offense it needed in the sixth with one swing of Erickson's bat. Down 1-0, Foxboro got a walk from John Garabedian to lead things off. Garabedian, who also had two of Foxboro's four hits, moved to second on a passed ball and then to third on a groundout. Erickson followed with a two-run home run, deep and over the fence in right field.
