After a long wait, the Portland Sea Dogs are set to open their home schedule Tuesday afternoon at Delta Dental Park, welcoming New Hampshire for the home opener.

The team’s newly installed field at Hadlock is already in great shape, with the Sea Dogs grounds crew putting the final touches on it Monday.

First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday, and kids will be admitted free. Fans may want to bundle up, though, as conditions are expected to be chilly, with temperatures in the low 40s after the team recently played in the mid-80s.

MEDFORD, Maine (WGME) — A community is rallying and raising money for a Medford man who is fighting for his life after being hit by a vehicle on I-95 while helping a teen driver.

Scott Thibodeau’s family said he is on a breathing tube and badly injured after he was hit by a car on I-95 last month.

Police said he and his wife stopped to help another driver who went off the road in Veazie.

Thibodeau and the teen driver were outside their vehicles when police said another driver hit them.

Police said Thibodeau put himself in front of the teen to shield her and suffered worse injuries.

Thibodeau is active in the automotive community in his area and on Sunday, they held a fundraiser to help pay his medical bills.

“Scott being such a big part of the automotive community and the mud runs and everything, it was something kind of like we needed to do,” said organizer Nick Souza.

“The amount of appreciation is never something I’ll be able to repay, so thank you is the best I’ve got,” said Janis Thibodeau, Scott’s wife.

Thibodeau just celebrated his 55th birthday from the ICE. His wife says his road to recovery will be long and uncertain.

A Facebook page has been created to document Thibodeau’s healing journey. A GoFundMe has been set up to help Thibodeau’s family.
