Fowler 3-for-4, Leads Whistlers to Win
Mike Fowler helped his team muscle past the Tampa Bay Captains, 9-3. In the game, the Boston catcher went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. Boston reliever Scott Johnson picked up the win, while Jeremy Schroeter took the loss for Tampa Bay. The Captains, 11-13, continue their sluggish start to the 2024 campaign.

Fowler made an early impact for Boston when he stroked his 3rd home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which came in the top of the second, put the Whistlers on top, 4-0.

In postgame comments to the Boston Daily, Fowler said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
