Attackman Ryan Boyle (Gilman) scored 1:26 into overtime to give the Boston Cannons an 15-14 victory over the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Saturday night at Harvard Stadium in Cambridge, Mass. Boyle used an inside spin move to beat defenseman Michael Evans (Johns Hopkins, South River) from behind and fired a short shot past goalkeeper Kip Turner (Severn) to bring an end to a wild, back-and-forth affair. Boyle, the all-time leading scorer in Major League Lacrosse with 410 points, finished with three goals and two assists.

It was just after noon Saturday and a large blue-crab-mobile was drifting out into the harbor with four students from Arbutus Middle School aboard and unable to steer. The problem? A thrown sock puppet that had damaged their controls. The absurd moment captured the spirit of the annual Kinetic Sculpture Race, now in its 15th year, even down to the puppet as the source of mischief — carrying one is a requirement of the competition. School principal Michelle Feeney watched anxiously from a pier at Canton Waterfront Park as a pair of kayakers paddled out to tow the middle-schoolers back to shore, so they could continue on their way. "All they care about is who threw the sock puppet," Feeney said.

You would think that a 27mm cannon might help a man protect his property from a siege, but modern-day suburban invaders apparently aren't the least bit daunted by heavy artillery.Since Benfield Road resident Jack Colleran placed a World War II vintage Japanese cannon in his side yard in 1970, he and housemate Caroline Cox have stood by in despair besieged by a half a dozen different enemies.In the last 20 years:* Their home has been broken into four times.* The county condemned a wide strip of their land to expand Benfield Road.

The mystery of how a 200-year-old French cannon came to rest in the murky waters off of Fells Point has been solved -- and it has nothing to do with pirates or the War of 1812. It was just a prank, carried out by a couple of young wharf denizens 50 years ago. The 500-pound cannon, thought to date from the age of the Napoleonic Wars, was discovered in April by workers doing bulkhead restoration for the Fells Point Landing project near Bond and Caroline streets. It was turned over to the Maryland Historical Trust, and experts said its fleur-de-lis indicated a French pedigree, probably dating to the early 1800s.

While Fort McHenry's cannons blasted at schooners in the Baltimore harbor Tuesday, the voices of children from several city schools rose above the din. The young singers quivered a bit but stayed on key as they sang patriotic anthems. Four choirs and one wind ensemble performed at the fort's first maritime and musical education experience as the 1814 Battle of Baltimore was re-enacted - with ersatz cannon blasts and authentic smoke - in the background. A few children held their ears or jumped at the suddenness of the volleys, but they kept on singing.

The Chesapeake Bayhawks upset the top-seeded Boston Cannons in the 2010 Major League Lacrosse semifinals and went on to win the championship. They met in the semifinals again last year, and the Cannons rallied from an early five-point deficit and scored the game-winning goal with 1.2 seconds remaining. Now, here they go again. Second-seeded Chesapeake (10-4) will meet third-seeded Boston (9-5) in an MLL semifinal for the third consecutive year, this time on the Cannons' home field at Harvard Stadium at 4 p.m. Saturday.

Major League Lacrosse announced Wednesday that Boston Cannons midfielder   Paul Rabil (Johns Hopkins) has been named Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight season and the third time in the past four after setting a league record with 72 points in 14 games. "I'm very honored and humbled to have earned the Offensive Player of the Year award. It's always rewarding to receive individual achievements from all the hard work I put in each year,” Rabil said. “That said, no matter the amount of work I put into my game, this is a team sport, and without such tremendous players I have the honor to play with each week, I wouldn't be in this position.

What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence? Time to get a new fence! When does an elephant have eight legs? When there are two elephants! And when does the Equestrian Center become overrun with joke-telling boys? When it's the week of the Harford County District Cub Scout Day Camp! These are only a sampling of the jokes visitors to the Harford County Equestrian Center and surrounding fields (better known to some as the site of the Harford County Farm Fair)

Each week, The Baltimore Sun publishes a Q&A with an area college lacrosse player to get you more acquainted with the player and his/her team. Today's guest is Salisbury senior attackman Matt Cannone, who is the only player in Division III men's lacrosse with more than 100 points (114). You lead the country in points per game (6.3) and assists per game (3.2). Is that what you anticipated doing this season? Our No. 1 goal was to just get back to the national championship and win it. But having the surrounding cast that we have this year has made it pretty easy to be prosperous.

George Zimmerman was not properly doing his job as a volunteer neighborhood watch captain. He had no right to follow a person and make contact with the person. If you suspect something while performing that role, you call 911 give location and stand way back, and you should not carry a gun on watch, even with a permit. How do I know this? I lived in Florida for 18 years. I was in a gated community and pulled neighborhood watch duty many times. I also had a concealed gun permit for 17 years in Florida, which is not easy to get. You get a book of laws for when you can use it. I guess George Zimmerman did not understand the laws or just did not pay attention.

Major League Lacrosse Bayhawks acquire Dailey from Cannons The Chesapake Bayhawks acquired former Stevenson and Winters Mill star Jimmy Dailey from the Boston Cannons on Wednesday in exchange for a 2013 fifth-round supplemental draft pick. In other moves, the Bayhawks released attackman Trevor Moore , a 10th-round supplemental draft pick out of Robert Morris last year, and traded goalie Johnny Rodriguez (Salisbury) to the Ohio Machine for a 2013 supplemental pick.
