Thomson, Illinois
 
The Thomson Merchants completed a disappointing 0-4 record over
the weekend at the Liberty Bank/Albaugh Invitational Classic.
Against top class opposition the Merchants once again showed
an ability to score runs against high caliber pitching but all
too easily gave up runs through poor defensive displays.
 
The opening game of the tournament was between the Merchants
and home team Albaugh on Friday night. A gutsy pitching and hitting
performance by Steven Manson, including a 2 run home run, highlighted
Thomsons performance which sore the game tied at 3 all in the
7th innings. After failing to score in the top half if the innings
Drew Motille hit his 2nd home run of the game, with 2 down in
the innings to secure the victory for Albaugh.
 
On Saturday morning Thomson played its worst game of the season
to date. A red hot Townline offensive display showed no mercy
to Thomson's below par pitching and defense. Despite countering
for 1 run in the first innings, and some late consolation runs
the Merchants were never in the game and ending up losing 19-3.
 
Thomson showed more heart in its 2nd game Saturday and held the
eventual tournament winners, Mindak, close until the last 2 innings,
eventually losing 7-2. Strong pitching by Mindaks Travis Price
kept hits at a minimum for Thomson, but a 2 for 3 performance
by Casey Eden, and a double by Mike House, followed by 2 sacrifice
fly's allowed Thomson to score its runs. Steve Manson was again
solid on the mound after coming on in relief in the Townline
game.
 
In the single life elimination game on Sunday defensive errors
were again the major difference as Thomson lost to eventual tournament
runners up, and close neighbors, Quad City Sox. IN a high scoring
game both teams had over 10 hits but Quad Cities power hitting
proved to be a massive advantage in the 16-7 result. 2 for 4
performances by Aaron Vail, Eden, and Kevin Anderson were the
highlights for Thomson.
 
The Merchants next play in Eau Claire in 2 weeks time. Our team
spirit remains high and we look forward to achieving a higher
level of success in the near future. The Merchants also look
forward to hopefully adding some players to our roster in the
next few days, who will improve us defensively. All Thomson Fastpitch
