But that doesn't matter to the Merchants who are as powerful offensively as they are defensively. “Even if we do give up a few runs early in the game we know we can come back,” said Keraiff. “We have a very balanced line-up and our seven, cight and nine hit- ters can hit the ball as well as the other guys.” The Merchants last game was played Tuesday, June 14 against the Nelson Athletics in Nelson. ‘The final score was 13-12 for the Merchants who came. back from a four run deficit in the top of the seventh inning.
