The 2026 Wyoming Legion Baseball Division 1 State Tournament opened in Gillette, Wyoming, with two days of competition already completed, featuring a mix of winner‑bracket showdowns and elimination battles that have dramatically reshaped the field.
Sheridan’s Jets pulled off a surprise victory over the heavily favored Gillette Riders, edging them 4‑3 in a game that turned in the sixth inning when the Jets erupted for a three‑run burst, while the Sheridan Troopers cruised past the Casper Oilers 14‑8, capitalizing on an eight‑run third inning that put them ahead 8‑2 before the Oilers rallied.
Key Moments from Day Two
The Troopers’ offense was on full display, scoring eight runs in the third to open a six‑run cushion, then answering a fifth‑inning rally by the Oilers with six more runs to maintain control.
Meanwhile, the Cheyenne Sixers stayed unbeaten, dispatching the Laramie Rangers 12‑4 in the winner’s bracket after erasing a 2‑0 deficit by erupting for seven runs in the bottom of the first inning.
What’s Next
With the winner’s bracket now narrowed, attention turns to the upcoming matchups that will determine which squads advance to the championship round, as the remaining unbeaten teams look to extend their runs and the eliminated clubs regroup for future competition.
