These two additions come at a good time, seeing Andrew Carter has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with back spasms. Carter is a valuable asset to any ball club, working as both a pitcher and outfielder. He’s batted six games for the Mavericks, sporting a .296 average with eight hits and six RBI’s.

Thompson says he’s hoping with a few days rest Carter will be back soon.

Medicine Hat hits the road on Tuesday to battle the defending WMBL Champion Swift Current 57’s at Mitchell Field. Game time is 7:05 p.m.
