Whistlers Win, 5-4, Over Tampa Bay
The Boston Whistlers defeated the Tampa Bay Captains, 5-4. Doing his part was catcher Paul Simister, who went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. The loss makes Tampa Bay 65-88.

Boston used the timely hitting of Tim Lotz to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Whistlers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Simister.
