The Merchants stayed hot run ruling the Mets 12-0 for their second shutout in a row in Fargo league action.

Tommy Linn led the way going 5 for 5 with 3 runs scored.  It was the first 5 for 5 games since 2015 when Australian Lewis Weldon had 5 hits against the Elks in Valley City.  He also set the Merchant 40 record that day so it's a special moment in Merchant history.

Colten Alme and Drew Clouse added 2 hits apiece.  Derek Zitzow, Clouse, and Chayton Senn all had 2 RBI's while Senn added a triple as well.

Ethan Claus was lights out on the mound throwing a strong 5 innings with 5 K's and only 3 hits.

The Merchants evened their record on the year to 4-4.  Next up is a revenge game with the Catfish next Wednesday at Helling Field.
