Great Day for Maher -- 5 Hits
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for Derek Maher. Maher went on a tear and cracked hit after hit off Tampa Bay pitchers. When the dust settled on the diamond at Ahoy Park, he had a 5-for-5 line and a day he will long remember. And the Boston Whistlers had a win, 8-7, over the Captains.

"Yeah, it'll be something nice to tell the grandkids, but it won't get me a hit tomorrow," he joked in the postgame interview.

Derek Maher hit a three-run home run off Joe Bernard in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Joe Bernard in the 4th, singled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

In 55 games this season, Maher has compiled a .342 batting average with 55 hits and 9 home runs. He has also scored 27 times and knocked in 29 runs.
