Rangers Prep fall to Wheatland B

The Laramie Rangers Prep team had a tough day against the Wheatland B team on Tuesday at Cowboy Field, dropping a pair of games, 15-1 and 13-3.

The losses dropped Laramie to 13-17 on the season.

In the first game, Wheatland jumped out to a 5-0 lead after two innings and put the contest away with six runs in the third and four more in the fifth. The Lobos finished with 16 hits against three Laramie pitchers.

Dylan Watson took the loss, giving up nine hits and 11 runs (seven earned) in three innings. Casey Stangle and Hunter Wick also pitched in the game.

Laramie had just two hits in the contest -- doubles by Tyler Loose and Tyler Warren.

The second game was a little more competitive -- for a while. Laramie trailed 7-3 after three innings before the Lobos closed with six unanswered runs.

Taylor Boggess was the losing pitcher, giving up five runs in one-plus innings. Abel Casas pitched four innings, giving up five hits and five runs, with Sam Feldman and Kevin Dooley finishing up.

The Rangers had seven hits in this game (individual hitting was not available).

Laramie returns to action on Monday with a doubleheader with the same Wheatland team in Wheatland. The Rangers will then compete in the Wyoming B State Tournament on Aug. 1-2 in Sheridan.
