College and minor league baseball make Maine even more fun in summer

The New England Collegiate Baseball League is summer college baseball at its best. Seeing a college baseball game is an evening of great summertime fun for children and families during a New England vacation. The league, consisting of 12 teams in the six New England states, starts its summer season in early June and plays an eight-week schedule of 42 games per team. The league championship is determined by a playoff in early August.

Maine’s professional minor leagues include the Portland Sea Dogs, a AA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.
