Drillers Finish Second, Will Head to Junior Regional

The Casper Drillers finished second at the Wyoming State ‘B’ Tournament in Sheridan, WY to the Cheyenne Hawks.  The Drillers dropped their opening game to the Sheridan Jets 2 to 0 and then pulled off  four wins in a row to work their way back to the championship.  The Hawks would eventually end the streak and take the title for State ‘B’.

However, since the Cheyenne Hawks are hosting the Junior Regional Tournament the Drillers earned a berth to go to Cheyenne.  The Drillers will open up play on Thursday at 10:00am against Loveland, CO.  Other teams participating in the Jr. Regional are the Colorado Kahos, Torrington Tigers, Rapid City Bullets, Rapid City Cadets, and a team from Minnesota yet to be named.

Casper Legion Baseball would like to send our congratulations to the Drillers for their efforts at State and we wish them the best of luck in Cheyenne this week!
