Comment on UMaine scores home run as host of America East baseball tournament

ORONO, Maine — While its baseball team attempts to be a somewhat inhospitable host when confronting its opponents on the field this week, University of Maine athletics has received high marks for its efforts as the host of the America East baseball tournament. The 2018 event marks the first time UMaine has hosted the tournament in 14 years. During the last four seasons, it had been held at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts, the home field for the University of Massachusetts Lowell and for the Lowell Spinners, the Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. “It has been great,” said America East associate commissioner Chad Dwyer.
