Thomson Merchants in Dubuque
 
The Thomson Area Merchants rolled to there 1st tournament win
of the 06 season at the Dubuque Hall of Fame tournament in Iowa
on Saturday. Led by ace Czech Republic International pitcher
Jonas Mach, Thomson won all three games played convincingly.
 
In the first run-ruled shortened game against Hammerheads strong
team hitting led to a 10-0 victory. Highlights of the offensive
attack included a 2 run home run to New Zealand catcher Casey
Eden.
 
In the second pool play game vs the Junior Sox out of Quad Cities,
young pitcher Mach again dominated the opposition in the early
innings, before being replaced for the save by veteran thrower
Larry Tempe. The end score being 6-1, including a towering 2
run shot over the right field fence by lead off hitter Justin
Eissens
 
In the championship final against Tauber Construction, Thomson
again jumped out to a early lead courtesy of back to back doubles
by Kevin Anderson and Michael House. Thomson built on this lead
to end up winning the game 7-1. Eden again contributed a home
run over the center field fence.
 
Thomson now continues to build towards our local ISC qualifier
in Walcott in late June. The team has ambitions of ISC qualification
but must beat strong competition including the Quad City Sox
to advance to the ISC tournament in Kitchener.
 
Another highlight of the day for Thomson was seeing hard hitting
veteran Gerry Westemeier inducted into the Dubuque Fastpitch
Hall of Fame. This is as a reward of many years of commitment
both on and off the diamond by Gerry. Congratulations to Gerry
for this achievement. We still look forward to seeing you on
the diamond for many years to come.
