The Bruno Merchants added a one to each of the columns on their record after a rare three game week saw the Merchants pick up a win, a loss and a tie.

Lock down defense coupled with a red hot offense carried the Bruno Merchants to an 11-0 win over the Saskatoon WD Plastics Diamondbacks U23 on July 17 in Saskatoon.

After playing excellent on both sides of the ball in the opening half of the doubleheader, the Bruno Merchants slowed up at both ends, managing a 5-5 tie with the Diamondbacks on July 17 in Saskatoon.

The Delisle Diamond Dogs took a bite out of the Bruno Merchants in an 11-4 Diamond Dogs win on July 18 in Saskatoon.

Thanks to their 1-1-1 week, the Merchants see their record move to 5-6-1 on the season, good enough for fourth in the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association’s Keith McLean Division, one game and two points back of the third place Diamondbacks.

After a busy week the Merchants will take some time off before returning to the diamond Aug. 8 for a doubleheader at Bob Van Impe Stadium in Saskatoon against the Saskatoon Tint Centre Cubs.
