Thomson, Illinois
 
The Thomson Merchants completed another 1-3 weekend at the recently
completed Grafmeier tournament in Kimberly, Wisconin. Against
world class teams and pitchers the Merchants are becoming increasingly
competitive and continue to build forward to Kitchener later
in the year. 
 
The Merchants opened up on Friday vs The Farm, almost completing
a massive upset before eventually going down 4-3. After taking
a 3-0 lead into the 4th innings, largely due to a 2nd inning
2 run Home Run to Bruce Bielema, some key defensive errors let
down the team in the 4th. The Farm drew level and then managed
to score the winning run in the 6th.
 
Because of rain on Saturday Thomson faced a long day at the ball
park playing Mindak, Townline and The Bar on the Avenue. The
11am game vs Mindak was locked at 2 all in  the 2nd innings,
Thomson's runs again coming through a Bielema 2 run shot, when
a long rain delay caused all play to be ceased for 2 hours. When
the game resumed Mindak hitters took control and pulled away
for a comfortable win.  Townline was up next at approximately
10pm. Dispite a valiant pitching effort by Rory Miller a combination
of fielding errors and power hitting from Townline, took the
game away from Thomson. Depite being out of the running for the
tournament Thomson then played local team, The Bar, in a game
starting around 12.30 am Sunday morning. Surrounded in heavy
fog the Merchants managed a 5-2 win, the highlights of this game
being a strong pitching performance by Steven Manson and a 2
run Home run to catcher Casey Eden. Highlights of the games are
below ( note : Full statistics are not yet ready from the weekend
