Cheyenne’s Road to the American League World Series
Sitting at 65-15, the Cheyenne Sixers have experienced a seriously impressive summer campaign. They have the most wins of the eight teams in the ALWS, and look to ride their winning streak. The Sixers won both the Wyoming State tournament for the 33rd time, defeating the Casper Oilers in the championship game, and the Northwest Regional Tournament championship defeating the Gillette Roughriders. In the Northwest Regional Tournament, the Cheyenne Post 6 Sixers were 5-1, with their sole loss against Pocatello, Idaho in the second game. The Sixers then won four straight elimination games defeating Lakeside Recovery, the Rocky Mountain Lobos, and the Roughriders twice en route to their elusive first North West Regional Tournament title. The Sixers spot is well deserved as they look to make Wyoming American Legion baseball proud with a deep run in the 96th annual American Legion World Series.
