Thomson Merchants in Walcott Memorial Day Tournament & Quad Cities
League
 
The Thomson Merchants welcomed back 2 more players for the recently
completed Wallcott Memorial Day Tournament. New Zealand pitcher
and catcher combination Steven Manson and Casey Eden were part
of the playing roster for the first time this season and the
team enjoyed instant success in the first game of the tournament
versus fellow ISC bound team, the Midwest Stampede. The Merchants
could not back up this success over the weekend and lost the
next three games vs Dolan and Murphy, New Image and eventual
tournament winners Albaugh. Defensive errors proving to be the
teams downfall in all three losses. Offensively the Merchants
proved very capable of scoring runs against a variety of high
calibre pitching and now look to put both sides of the game together
at the upcoming Graffmeier tournament. All schedule for team
