Former Hoosier Andrew Means recorded his first home run of his professional career on Friday night.

For the Billings (Mont.) Mustangs, a Cincinnati Reds Rookie League affiliate, Means went 2-for-5 with a single and the solo shot.

In the first games of his post-collegiate tenure, Means has struck out nine times in 48 at-bats, a slightly higher clip than he had last season at IU.

Despite the K's, however, his average over his last 10 games stands just under .300. He has swiped two bags in as many attempts and is putting together a pretty good summer season in Billings.
