Scarborough wins the West, using Devan Kane’s saves and Sarah Martens’ goal for a 1-0 victory.
Kevin Thomas
Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball. It just seems that way, starting with his early days covering spring training for the St. Petersburg Times, to his current role of bi-locating at both Hadlock Field and Fenway Park, reporting on the Portland Sea Dogs and Boston Red Sox. In the off-season, he still writes about baseball, while venturing to hockey rinks and basketball arenas, especially when it comes to the University of Maine and local colleges. Thomas has received awards for his work, but his greatest prize is home, which includes one patient wife, nine children and an aging chocolate Labrador.

On Basketball: Defense rests at Celtics’ peril
BOSTON – Doc Rivers feared the Los Angeles Clippers scoring easy baskets. “You can’t let them get behind you,” Rivers said Sunday before his Boston Celtics played the Clippers at the TD Garden. “I’m sure every team goes in against them with that goal.
