The Merchants pitching staff is the talented trio of Brian Urquhart, Scott Wagar and Andrew Phibbs.   Phibbs&#8217; brother Allan is the catcher for the team.   Top hitters for the Merchants thus far in the season are Pat Graham (.384) and Chris Staats (.378).  Both have on-base percentages above .400.   Brad Robinson leads the team in home runs with 6, while Pat Graham and Billy Simmons lead in hits.  Graham and Robinson also leads in RBI.  <\/p>\n<p>We had a chance to see Scott Waggar pitch at the AAU International tournament in 2007, where he pitched very well, coming within one out of knocking off the ISC # 4 ranked Kitchener Hallman Twins.   Ironically, in that game, it was Rino Dambrosio who got the game winner for the Twins.  Dambrosio is a member of the Merchants regular 2007 roster, but was playing at the AAU with his old club, the Hallman Twins.    <\/p>\n<p>Be sure to visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sport.ca\/team\/documents\/index.php?team=308\"><strong>their stats page<\/strong><\/a>, which includes box scores from all 27 games played to date, as well as individual player stats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From: The Jarvis Merchants have rolled out their new team website.
