Beau Brunsvold provided the big bop hitting a towering 3 run homer to left in the 5th inning to put the Merchants up 5-0.  There was no looking back from there as they cruised to the shutout win.  John Eckstein set the tone going 6 scoreless innings allowing 4 hits and 4 strikeouts to get the win.  Derek Zitzow threw two scoreless innings and Brandon Baumgartner finished off the 9th with a clean inning himself.

Jesse Munsterman had 3 hits including a double and a RBI.   Kobe Senn also tripled and scored two runs.

The Merchants are now 3-4 on the year clawing their way back to .500.  Next up is the Mets on Wednesday at Helling Field.
