With three weeks left in the regular season before the opening of the playoffs in August, the hitters league is being helped along the way by strong pitching. Trinidad’s Alex Aleywine has helped the Tornados’ cause with multiple- hit games at the plate recently.

The Pecos League will hold two All-Star Games this month. The Pacific Division All-Star Game will take place next Sunday at Martinez’ Waterfront Park while the Mountain Division’s stellar event is set for Sunday, July 16 at Kokernot Field in Alpine. The league schedules two intradivisional All-Star Games per season due to time and budget limitations, with each team stocked with players from four divisional rivals. Unlike MLB, there will be no threeday break for players not selected, with regular season games played the days before and after each All-Star tilt.

Sul Ross has a new men’s head soccer coach. Bailey Guffin, former head coach at Oklahoma Panhandle State University, will take over and lead the men’s team this season.

The Alpine Cowboys will host a baseball camp on July 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The camp is open to kids ages six and up and participants will need a glove and workout clothes, which includes running shoes, shorts or baseball pants, and a water bottle and a hat are highly recommended. The Cowboys’ players will work on batting, fielding, and throwing and catching with each group of kids. Children will be grouped into younger and older groups. There will also be a water balloon fight and hot dogs, chips, and a drink will be provided. For more information contact Katie at 512-6446397.

Sul Ross State University is the birthplace of the college rodeo. It is where the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association began, and its history has helped pave the way for a cowboy from Idaho to help achieve his dreams.

The dog days of summer roll on for the Alpine Cowboys. Facing their toughest stretch of the Pecos League schedule, the Cowboys lost four of six to the Tucson Saguaros and four of five on the road to the Roswell Invaders.
