Sheridan Troopers Legion Baseball; The Sheridan Troopers Legion Baseball Team is back from their road trip to Omaha, Nebraska.

The team turned in a 1-6 record between Tuesday and Saturday.

On Friday, Sheridan lost to Millard South 8-3, and then on Saturday they lost against Lincoln Southwest 16-5.

The Troopers are now 23-19 on the season, and are back in action on Thursday at a tournament in Billings.

On the first day, the team will play the Lightning Baseball Academy out of Parker, Colorado, at 2:30pm, and then play Great Falls, Montana after that.

The next home game for Sheridan is on Tuesday, July 9th.

Colorado Rockies Baseball: The Colorado Rockies ended up losing 2 of out 3 games at home vs. Washington this past weekend.

On Friday, the Rocks lost 11-5.

Ezequiel Tovar and Nolan Jones each hit solo home runs in that game and Hunter Goodman added a 2-run shot of his own.

On Saturday, Colorado won 8-7 in historic and bizarre fashion.

Brendan Rodgers hit a 3-run homer.

Goodman and Ryan McMahon each had solo blasts.

The Rockies had the game tied at 7 in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded.

McMahon was batting with a full count, and then the pitcher for the Nationals committed a pitch clock violation.

That resulted in an automatic ball, the count was full at the time, the bases were loaded, thus 1 run scored and the Rocks would win the game on the violation.

It was the first time in Major League Baseball history that a team won a game on that kind of infraction.

Yesterday, Colorado lost 2-1.

Michael Toglia hit a solo home run for the cause, but the bullpen gave up 2 runs in the top of the 9th, and that was how the final score came to be.

The Rockies are off today and will start a 2-game game series tomorrow at Houston.

After that they’ll start a 3-game series at the Chicago White Sox on Friday.

NHL Stanley Cup Finals: Edmonton won Game 6 at home vs. Florida 5-1 on Friday, to tie the series at 3-games each.

It’s the 10th time in NHL playoff history that a team has come back to tie a series at 3, after losing the first 3 games.

The last team to do it was the LA Kings in the first round of the 2014 playoffs.

There’s only been one other time in the history of the Stanley Cup Finals, when a team has come back to win a best of 7 series, after losing the first 3 games.

That was the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942.

Tonight, the puck is scheduled to drop at 6 o’clock Mountain Time.
