Wyoming Legion Baseball Week 6 Preview: Reduced Schedule Amid Graduation Period

A look at the upcoming games, key matchups and recent results as the season moves into its sixth week

Week 6 Schedule Overview

The sixth week of the 2026 Wyoming Legion Baseball season arrives with a lighter slate, as high‑school graduations curb the usual volume of games. Most teams are limited to regional non‑conference matchups, and Saturday stands out as the busiest day, featuring nine doubleheaders spread across the state.

Among the highlighted series, the Cheyenne Sixers are slated to host a pair of conference doubleheaders, while other clubs such as the Gillette Riders and Rapid City Stevens Varsity will meet in a rescheduled nine‑inning contest in Gillette.

Recent Results

On May 11, the Gillette Riders pulled away with a five‑run fifth inning to defeat Rapid City Stevens Varsity 8‑2. Key contributors included Hecker, who logged two hits including a double and three RBIs, and Wood, who added two hits and two RBIs. The Riders also capitalized on three errors, six walks and five stolen bases to secure the win.

In contrast, Rapid City Stevens Varsity turned the tables later that day, edging the Riders 7‑2 while restricting them to just two hits and three walks. The team opened the scoring with three runs in the first inning and never looked back.

Upcoming Matchups

The schedule continues with a series of afternoon and evening games across Wyoming. On May 12 the Cheyenne Sixers travel to face the Laramie Rangers at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., while the same evening the Rapid City Post 22 Expos take on the Gillette Rustlers. The following day brings additional doubleheaders, including a matchup between the Sheridan Troopers and the Gillette Riders at 5:30 p.m., and a Cody Cubs versus Riverton Raiders pair at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on May 16, alongside a Douglas Cats versus Cheyenne Hawks series at the same times.

Throughout the week, teams from Cheyenne, Laramie and Gillette will meet opponents representing South Dakota, adding a regional flavor to the competition.
