Peoria Merchants

Opening Day First Pitch by P Zach Monroe of the 1958 World Series Champion NY Yankees. Introducrion by Coach Mike Olson. What a great way to start the Summer season!

@PeoriaMerchants The Peoria Merchants defeated the Groundsloths by the final score of 4-3 and have two regular season games left before the Kernals Colliegette League Playoffs begin July 17,18,and 19

Tough loss in the Championship game. The Merchants had runners in scoring position early and often in the first 4 innings, but could never break through to score in bunches. We will be back at it again Summer 2025. Good luck to our players on the field and in the classroom.

The Merchants won a slugfest 11-10 today to advance to the Championship Game this Saturday night! Game should start around 6p. Come be a part of the crowd!
