ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Maine baseball team has already clinched the America East title and will be the top seed in the conference tournament, which starts on Wednesday in Lowell, MA. But first, the Black Bears were trying to finish their regular season with a series sweep against UMBC.

Maine senior Mike Fransoso made his 1st appearance in the lineup since getting hit by a pitch in the eye on Tuesday at Boston College. He batted in the DH spot Saturday afternoon.

The Retrievers got out to an early 2-0 lead, but Maine rallied and scored 4 runs in the 3rd inning. But UMBC made a late comeback in the 9th inning, winning the game, 6-5.

OLD TOWN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Old Town senior Kendra Hayward has made her presence known on the mound as a pitcher for the Coyotes softball team. But she doesn't want this new found legacy to stop anytime soon. In fact, she's making sure Old Town will be a powerhouse on the diamond in the years to come.

Kendra is using her talents to pay it all forward, by using what free time she has to coach the next generation of Old Town players.

"I'd like to come back in five years and see the younger girls that I taught. Maybe have them on the mound and cheer for them," she explains.

Head Coach Jenn Plourde certainly hopes that happens. She says Kendra is a natural leader.

"Coaching is kind of in her blood, whether she knows it or not. I think she'll come back someday and want to participate and coach and help out," says Coach Plourde.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- If you're feeling lucky these days, you might want to consider purchasing a lottery ticket in the days ahead.

The amount of money you could win during Saturday's Powerball drawing could be worth as much as $600 million. No one matched Wednesday night's numbers which means the prize is now the third largest in U.S. history. All those zero's have sent several people out to pay their two dollars for a ticket, despite the odds of winning are one in 175 million.

Some people we caught up with on Friday had all kinds of different ideas of what they would do with the money if they won.

"First thing I would do is invest in my grandchildren," said Bill Charpentier, who bought his ticket at Ledbetter's superstore in Bangor, "let their college education be paid for."
