The weekend brought a flurry of activity to the local legion baseball circuit, with the WESTCO Zephyrs, the Alliance Sparts and the Bridgeport squad all seeing action across the region.
The Zephyrs played a series of games that included a hard‑fought tie against the Wellington Birds, showing resilience despite the rain‑delayed schedule.
Meanwhile, the Sparts entered the Gillette Tournament in dominant form, dispatching Buckley with a 19‑0 shutout that underscored both pitching depth and offensive firepower, and added several other victories to their record.
Bridgeport faced a packed weekend slate, dropping games to multiple opponents; the most notable loss came against Wood River, where a 17‑11 final score highlighted moments of offensive spark but also exposed defensive gaps.
Looking Ahead
The upcoming schedule features Bridgeport traveling to Gering on Tuesday, while the Zephyrs head to Wheatland for a much‑anticipated clash later that same day.
On Wednesday, Chadron will host the Zephyrs, a game that will be broadcast live on 107.3 The Trail, giving fans across the area a chance to follow the action in real time.
