"And when it comes to the competitiveness and the passion that he plays with, he sets the bar for our team." 2 dogs die after wolf attacks in Jackson County Bednar called up Alex Galchenyuk from the Colorado Eagles to replace the roster spot Lehkonen leaves open but it is undetermined where he'll play in the lineup.

Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

WORCESTER — Burke’s quest for its second state championship in four years came to a conclusion Wednesday night.Trailing 36-33 with three minutes to play in the third, No. 3 Springfield International went on a 13-2 run that spread into the fourth quarter en route to a 59-53 win over No. 2 Burke in the Division 4 state semifinals on Wednesday night at Worcester State.The Bulldogs will play for their first state title since 2010 versus top-seeded Wareham.“Burke is a tremendous offensive team, and if you’re going to beat them you need to limit their second-chance opportunities,” Springfield International coach Patrick Ochoa said. “Once we kept them off the glass we gave ourselves a chance to compete.”Two Jaeden Roberts (23 points) triples put Burke (19-5) on top 36-32 late in the third and put it seemingly on the verge of going on a breakaway run. Springfield, however, answered by going on a 6-0 spurt before the end of the frame highlighted by a Londo...
