The curtain has come down on the outdoor track and tennis regular seasons and baseball, lacrosse and softball have roughly a week to go.

There has been plenty of excitement in recent days and there are a lot of questions left to be answered in the days to come.

Here’s a glimpse at what’s occurred and what’s on tap:

Baseball

Mt. Ararat’s baseball team was 7-7 and sixth in the Class A North Heal Points standings at press time after a 4-0 home loss to Mt. Blue and wins at home over Cony (3-2) and at Camden Hills (6-4). The Eagles were at Edward Little Wednesday and close the regular season Tuesday at home versus Brunswick.

The Dragons were 2-12 and 14th (only 10 teams make the playoffs) following losses at Edward Little (7-1) and Lawrence (9-8). After hosting Brewer Thursday, Brunswick closes at Mt. Ararat Tuesday.

In Class B South, Morse was 4-10 and ninth and appeared playoff-bound at press time. The Shipbuilders were coming off losses at home to Nokomis (8-3) and at Mt. View (3-2) and a 2-1 home victory over Oceanside. Morse hosts Erskine Academy Friday and closes at Leavitt Tuesday.
