Westmoreland won the last time they faced Portland and things went their way on Friday too. Westmoreland was the clear victor by a 10-3 margin over Portland. Considering the Eagles have won four matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Kooper Perry looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kade Perry and Aaron Freeman did most of the damage at the plate: Kade scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Freeman went 2-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most runs Perry has posted since back in February. Matthew Fuller also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
