The replay of the game between Norwood and Andover took place on July 27, 1990. The stage was set for an epic battle of wills and skill as the two teams clashed in a best-of-three playoff series.

As the game got underway, it became clear that both teams were determined to emerge victorious. Norwood’s relief pitcher, Mike McMann, had been pulled from the previous night’s game due to darkness, but he was back on the mound for the replay. Andover, meanwhile, was looking to capitalize on their earlier lead and take control of the series.

The game was a nail-biter from start to finish, with both teams trading blows and neither able to gain a clear advantage. In the end, it would be Norwood who emerged victorious, but only after a thrilling 10-inning battle that saw them come back from a 4-0 deficit to tie the game at 5-5.

The replay of the game was a testament to the determination and skill of both teams. Despite the challenges posed by darkness on the previous night, Norwood had refused to give up, and their efforts were rewarded with a thrilling victory in the end.
