BILLERICA, Mass. - Cam Owens sparked a monstrous second period for No. 3 Wilmington as the Wildcats iced No. 2 Lincoln-Sudbury, 6-0, in a Division 2 North semifinal. Wilmington (19-3-2) was firing on all cylinders during the second period by blast...

WOBURN, Mass. -- No style points are awarded for game-winning goals, there's only the result. By A.J. Couto's standards Friday night, his third goal was by far the dirtiest. But it also will likely prove to be the most memorable goal of his life. ...

I had an excellent time talking baseball with Keith Law on Thursday's Baseball Today podcast. (What, you wanted us to break down LeBron James and Kevin Durant?) The show may have run a little long, but trust me, it's worth the listen! 1. With Troy...

Amare Stoudemire will never be able to live down what happened in Miami.

Yu Darvish's filthy stuff could provide some magical moments for the Rangers.

SAUGUS, Mass. -- For 30 minutes, two-thirds through their heavyweight bout with Saugus, the Danvers Falcons appeared poised to put a stranglehold on the Northeastern North crown. Kevin Brown's Falcons swarmed Saugus netminder Nicholas Hegarty, badly ...

With the new semester upon us, it is time to take a look at some of the early enrollees around the Big East. West Virginia, USF and Cincinnati have released their new additions. I will have the rest of the early enrollees in the league once they a...

Florida Marlins old-timers really aren't that old, and the most senior of the seniors, 63-year-old Charlie Hough, hasn't changed that much since he threw the first pitch in franchise history in 1993.
