Laramie Deputies Finish Wild Weekend 3-1

Two major comebacks highlighted the Laramie Deputies home action last weekend at Cowboy Field. They finished their own tournament with three wins in four games.

Laramie opened with a 13-0 win over Rawlins Friday morning. The Deputies jumped to a 12-0 lead through two innings and finished off the Generals thanks to the 10-run mercy rule.

Friday night, the Deputies suffered their only loss of the weekend. Laramie lost to Ralston Valley from Arvada, CO by a final score of 13-5. Back-to-back five run innings by the Mustangs gave them control of the game. According to Deputies manager Kelly Steiner, Ralston Valley was the best team they've played all year. The Mustangs went 4-0 in the tournament.

Saturday and Sunday saw Laramie stage huge rallies for wins.

Saturday night, the Deputies trailed Gering, NE 11-3 in the third inning. Laramie exploded for 11 runs in the bottom of the fourth inning for the comeback victory. Albert Steiner had the go-ahead RBI single in a miraculous 14-11 win.

In their final game of the tournament, the Deputies produced another big comeback. They got down 11-1 in the first inning to the Westco Express. After nine total runs in the second and third innings, Laramie completed their wild ride on the weekend. A three-run fifth inning gave the Deputies a 13-11 win. Wes Yerty was a hero with the go-ahead two-run single in the frame.

The Laramie Deputies are 13-6 on the season. They return to action this weekend at a tournament in Scottsbluff, NE.
