All good things must come to an end, and Aroldis Chapman and the Boston Red Sox experienced this harsh truth firsthand on Wednesday afternoon. After battling back to tie things up against the Athletics in the ninth inning of their series finale, Chapman couldn’t send the game to extra innings.

That changed against the A’s. Right off the bat,…

Wide receiver isn’t exactly a position of strength for the 2025 New England Patriots. But don’t tell that to DeMario Douglas. Douglas and fellow 2023 sixth-round pick Kayshon Boutte are the longest-tenured members of an overhauled Patriots receiver room that features free-agent imports Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins and rookies Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III. They’re led by receivers coach Todd Downing, who’s spent two decades in the NFL and held multiple offensive coordinator jobs. Douglas joined ex-Patriots David Andrews and Brian Hoyer on a new episode of The Quick Snap podcast to share his perspective on the new-look…

WATERTOWN – Belmont provided a giant scare, but tally another mark in the history books for the Watertown field hockey program. By staving off six Marauders offensive corners in the second half – including a potential game-tying opportunity on expired time at the end of regulation – the Raiders (3-0) narrowly clung to a 2-1 Middlesex League crossover win Tuesday night for the legendary program’s 100th straight victory. It wasn’t the prettiest of wins for the four-time defending Div. 3 state champs, but it was just enough to overcome standout opposing performances from stars Mackenzie Clarke and Elsie Lakin-Schultz as…
