Furious Redmen Rally Falls Short in Softball Title Game

Tewksbury High School nearly pulled off a seemingly impossible comeback during the North Division 2 softball championship game. But the Redmen fell about 60 feet short.

Trailing by a 6-2 margin with just three outs to standing between themselves and elimination, the locals pushed home three runs and had third-seeded Burlington on the ropes.

But the Red Devils enduced a pop out in front of home plate for the third and final out of the top of the seventh, and Tewksbury's season came to an end with a 6-5 loss.

Following the loss, which left the team one victory short of its first ever North title, the Lady Redmen ended the campaign with a 17-7 record. Burlington, meanwhile, moves on to the Division 2 state semifinal round.
