The Tri-City ValleyCats defeated the Lowell Spinners on Saturday night by a final score of 8-2, behind the first multi-home run game of Seth Beer's professional career.
Beer reached base four times throughout the night with a career-high four runs batted in on a single, two separate two-run home runs and a hit-by-pitch.
It was a four-run first inning that served as the keynote for Tri-City, beginning with Seth Beer's first home run of the night.
Beer brought Jeremy Pena around to score on each of his home runs to account for half of the ValleyCats' offensive output.
The 'Cats' other two run-scoring hits came from Rodriguez, who roped RBI-singles into right field in the first and third innings.
On the pitching front,
Austin Hansen closed out the game with two perfect innings.
Now with a record of 5-4, the ValleyCats are tied with the Vermont Lake Monsters for first place in the New York-Penn League's Stedler division.
The ValleyCats will travel to New York City on Sunday afternoon to begin a three-game set with the Staten Island Yankees.
First pitch at Richmond County Ballpark in Staten Island will take place at 4 p.m., as coverage begins on the Tri-City ValleyCats Radio Network with Steven Cusumano 15 minutes prior to the start of the game.
