UNIVERSITY PARK — A player of Ryan Westmoreland’s caliber makes it easy to forget about debated calls.
Westmoreland, a 19-year-old who could be developing into a mega-prospect for the Boston Red Sox, hit a two-run triple in the ninth inning as the Lowell Spinners recovered from a reversed home-run call to defeat the State College Spikes 8-5 on Monday at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

NEW YORK — Staten Island might have the best collection of starting pitchers in the New York-Penn League. The Spikes are finding that out the hard way.
A night after being held hitless over the first seven innings, State College managed a mere four hits in a 2-0 loss to the Yankees on Saturday at Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George.
The Spikes (13-16) have lost five straight games and were shut out for the second time in that span.
