Red Sox power-hitting first base prospect Brooks Brannon's home run traveled so far Thursday that it hit the Hilton Garden Inn beyond left field at New Hampshire's Delta Dental Stadium.
Brannon's blast went 453 feet with a 113 mph exit velocity in Double-A Portland's 15-8 loss to New Hampshire.
Brannon has 13 home runs in 52 games. He's tied with three others for the fourth-most home runs among Red Sox minor league hitters. It wasn't even his farthest this season. He had a 464-foot, 115 mph home run June 7 against Reading.
Prospects Enddy Azocar (High-A Greenville) hit his 10th home run Thursday, becoming the 13th player in the Red Sox system with double-digit home runs.
