The crown jewel event the Alpine Cowboys have chased for years is finally coming to Kokernot Field. On Sunday, July 16, representatives from all eight Pecos League Mountain Division teams will make the trek to West Texas for the league’s annual All-Star Game.

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.
