JACKSON — Two teams hungry for their first conference victories will meet Wednesday when the Rock Springs Stallions travel north for a doubleheader against the Jackson Giants.

The Stallions (14-21, 0-8) and Giants (7-31-1, 0-12) currently occupy the bottom two spots in the Wyoming AA standings. Both will have a chance to climb out of the cellar with the pair of league games, scheduled for 4 and 6 p.m. at the Giants’ home field in Jackson.

Rock Springs snapped a one-game skid with Sunday’s non-conference victory in Green River and will look to keep the bats hot against Jackson. The Giants, meanwhile, have endured a challenging season marked by close losses and a winless conference mark to date. Jackson is hoping to turn the page at home and notch its first AA West win in front of its home crowd.
