Local Baseball Standouts Shine in Regional Competitions
Two standout athletes from Westford Academy have been recognized by the Dual County League, earning spots on the All‑League team and the Thorpe Division All‑Star roster.
Aiden Brown and Jared Welch, both seniors at Westford Academy, received All‑League honors, while teammates Aaron Hughes and Gavin Pasters were selected as Thorpe Division All‑Stars, highlighting the school’s deep talent pool.
In the same weekend, the local American Legion post based in Lowell faced its first setback of the season, dropping a close contest to Methuen despite a stellar outing from starting pitcher Joshua Boucher, who limited the opposition to just two runs over six innings.
Meanwhile, the Lowell Spinners of the Futures Collegiate Baseball League endured a 7‑1 loss on the road against the Nashua Silver Knights, managing only five hits and committing four errors that proved costly in the final tally.
The defeats underscore the competitive nature of New England’s summer baseball circuit, where emerging talents from Westford and neighboring towns continue to make their mark on regional play.
