BRAINTREE — Plymouth North in the opposite dugout, Mike Weisman on the hill, a shot at the state Division 2 baseball title hanging in the balance ... it looked all too familiar to North Andover High baseball fans.

With nearly a three-hour rain delay washing away early game jitters, Georgetown shook off a tentative start with a vengeance.
