Wyoming Legion Baseball State Tournament: Day 3 Upsets and a Perfect Game
The Sheridan Jets edged the Casper Oilers 5‑4 in a back‑and‑forth contest, with all five runs scoring in the fourth inning. The Powell Pioneers rolled past Laramie 7‑1, while the Cheyenne Sixers shut out the Sheridan Troopers 7‑0, highlighted by a dominant pitching outing.
Both the Jets and the Pioneers survived elimination games on Day 3, keeping their tournament hopes alive, and the Sixers now sit on the brink of the championship, though a loss would force them into a loser‑out match before a potential title game on Tuesday.
Key Pitching Performances
Blake Ligocki delivered 6.1 innings for the Jets, while Caden Diaz struck out 11 batters over 5.2 frames for the Pioneers. Braden Pearson was the standout for the Sixers, tossing a no‑hitter that allowed just two baserunners and fanned 14 opponents.
Other standout players such as Zack Kintzi, Lucas Hutton, Aaron Baures, Carter Fauskee, Abel Teten, Dominik Bieber, Kyler Hauf, Brodin Robbins, Quentin King, and Colin Crecelius also made notable contributions for their respective teams.
What's Next
Looking ahead, Day 4 will feature a rematch between the Sheridan Troopers and the Jets, as well as a clash between the Pioneers and the Sixers. If the Sixers stumble, a noon loser‑out game will precede the 3 p.m. championship showdown.
