TEWKSBURY — What a difference two days can make. The Tewksbury High baseball team was close to perfect last Tuesday, earning two wins against Nauset in a doubleheader on the road. The Redmen won the first contest, 6-0, before taking game two by a 5-2 margin. The bats came alive as the Tewksbury defense didn’t make one error. But on Thursday, the script turned upside down. The previously winless Haverhill Hillies stormed into Strong Field hungry for their first victory, and they did just that.
