Casper, Cheyenne Post Big Wins on Day 2 of AA State Baseball Tournament

Eight games have been played at the 2023 Wyoming American Legion Baseball AA State Tournament in Jackson.

After opening-round wins by Casper, Sheridan, the Cheyenne Sixers, and Jackson on Monday, the field was cut to six on Tuesday.

The Casper Oilers knocked off the top-seed Sheridan Troopers in eight innings in the first winner's bracket game on Tuesday. The final score was 3-2. Cobey Pexton had an infield bunt single that led to the winning run after a throw was mishandled. Thomas Stokes threw all 8 innings and 109 pitches to get the victory on the mound.

In the nightcap, the Cheyenne Sixers rallied to beat the Jackson Giants on their home field, 8-2. Jackson jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, but Cheyenne responded with 5 runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning to take the lead and never looked back. That big inning was highlighted by Hayden Swaen's 3-run home run. It was his second home run of the tournament. Bradley Feezer came on in relief for the win and was perfect over 3.1 innings pitched with 5 strikeouts.
