SWEETWATER COUNTY — The 4A South softball season continues this weekend with a full slate of games as Green River and Rock Springs prepare to host Torrington and No. 4 Wheatland in a pair of doubleheaders.
Both teams will play conference games first on Friday before non-conference rematches later in the day. On Saturday, Green River and Rock Springs will swap opponents for another round of matchups.
Friday: Conference tests at home
Green River (4-6) will host Torrington (3-4) in a 3:30 p.m. conference game at Veterans Park, followed by a non-conference contest at 5:30 p.m.
The Wolves are coming off a bounce-back weekend, having won their first two conference games of the season against Cheyenne South and Laramie. Behind strong pitching from Haidyn Terry and a red-hot stretch from Kodi Allred, Green River will look to keep the momentum rolling against a Torrington team that sits just below .500 on the year.
