Former Portsmouth High School star Ryan Westmoreland hit his first professional home run on Wednesday night, leading the Lowell Spinners, the Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, to a 9-0 victory over the Tri-City Valley Cats.
Batting cleanup behind Boston shortstop Jed Lowrie, who was making a rehab start in Lowell, Westmoreland drove a pitch down the right-field line in the fifth inning off Tri-City reliever Justin Harper for a three-run homer.
"It was good to see him pull a ball like that," Lowell manager Gary DiSarcina told the Lowell Sun. "It was a fastball in, and he got the head out and turned and burned on it."
Westmoreland finished the day 1-for-3 with two runs scored and four RBIs. For the season, he’s hitting .286 with a team-leading 12 RBIs.
