The Laramie Rangers Prep American Legion baseball team continues its improved play, sweeping Rawlins Monday night at Cowboy Field.
Laramie, 10-10 on the season, downed Rawlins 11-5 and 9-1. The Rangers now have won seven of their last nine games. Last weekend, Laramie split with both the Longmont Vipers and the Fort Collins Storm in Fort Collins Baseball League play.
Against Rawlins, Laramie jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the first game en route to the easy win. The Rangers had 10 hits in the game, led by Kevin Dooley and Dylan Watson with two hits and an RBI each; Taylor Boggess, Alex Jordan and Tyler Warren all had RBI singles in the game. Hunter Wick, Casey Stangle and Sam Feldman all pitched for the Rangers.
In the second game, Boggess and Jordan combined for a three-hitter in the 9-1 victory. Boggess also had three hits and an RBI, with Dooley adding two singles and two RBI.
“We didn’t play as sharp as we have been in the last two games. We were just well enough to get the wins,” Laramie manager VerDon Hoopes said. “We had pretty good pitching and we were able to get players some time at different positions and still be able to be solid in the field.
“All in all, we have been playing a lot lately -- six games in eight days. We have responded well and I’m real pleased with how far we have come.”
On June 12, Laramie split with the Longmont Vipers, losing the first game 8-6 but coming back to win the second game 10-9. Boggess had a pair of hits in the first game and Wick knocked in a pair of runs. In the second game, Abel Casas and Dooley had two hits to lead the way.
On June 14, Laramie fell to the Fort Collins Storm 6-2, but bounced back to win the second game, 9-8. Laramie scored two runs in the top if the seventh for the game-winner in the nightcap. Watson had two hits in the first game for Laramie, while the Rangers combined for 18 hits in the second game. Casas, Tommy Johnson and Boggess all had three hits in the second game.
Laramie returns to the diamond for the Fort Collins baseball league playoffs on June 28-29. Hoopes said the time off from competition will be good for the team.
“We will get back to the practice field, which we haven’t seen a loot of lately, and work at getting better and ready for our tournament at the end of June,” Hoopes said.
