The Debut of the Worcester Kelley Squares - The Worcester Red Sox change their name and their look in hopes of snapping their 4-game losing streak when they debut their newest alternate identity today playing as the Worcester Kelley Squares vs. the Toledo Mud Hens at 4:05 pm at Polar Park. The Kelley Squares will be looking to turn their fortunes around after the WooSox have dropped four straight to the Mud Hens thus far this week by scores of 4-1, 5-4, 3-2 in 10-innings, and 13-1 last night. Today's game will be televised live on NESN and can be heard on NASH 98.9 FM.

Forlorn - The WooSox have begun the 2nd half of their season with an 0-4 record and have fallen a season-low 3-games under .500 with their 36-39 overall mark. It is Worcester's lowest point in more than 14 months since April 13, 2025 when they were 5-8 to begin last season. The WooSox low point all of last year was 4-games below .500 on April 11, 2025 at 4-8.

Welcome Emma & Sea Dogs - The WooSox are pleased to welcome back Emma Tiedemann to the Polar Park broadcast booth as the voice of the Portland Sea Dogs will handle play-by-play of today's WooSox game on NESN as part of UniBank Women in Sports Day at Polar Park. Emma, who will work with regular WooSox broadcasters Jim Cain & Alex Jensen this afternoon, is in her 6th season as lead broadcaster of the Sea Dogs. She came to Portland in 2020 just before that season was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic. The University of Missouri product was one of the original four female broadcasters in Minor League Baseball. On August 8, 2024 she handled NESN play-by-play duties of a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park. The Maine Sportscaster of the Year, Emma is married to Sea Dogs general manager, Jesse Scaglion and the couple have a 21/2 year old daughter, Lucy. On a side note, Portland Sea Dogs season ticket holders, and some front office staff members, took a bus to Polar Park for today's game.
