Former WVSU pitching star Tyler Thompson has signed a Minor League baseball contract with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks of the American Association of Independent Baseball.
   Thompson saw his first action for the RedHawks Thursday, July 2.  
   This year's Mountain East Conference tournament MVP tossed two innings of scoreless relief allowing just one hit while striking out two as the North Dakota based RedHawks defeated Gary (Ind.) 3-1.
   Thompson finished his WVSU career with a record of 25-6 and struck out 221 batters in 203.2 innings while playing an important role on conference champion teams in 2014 and 2015.
