With such a comfortable margin over City View on Tuesday, it allowed Bowie High School head baseball coach Ryan Rogers the chance to use most of his team.
Lawson Mickler spelled Chandler Dean as the typical Tuesday starting pitcher.
Coby Bentley pitched the sixth and seventh innings, getting much-needed work.
And Kevin Stallcup earned his first-ever varsity base hit, driving home two runs in the top of the seventh.
Even though Bowie was the visitor in its own park, the Jackrabbits topped City View 17-0 in this District 3A-9 contest.
Bowie, now ranked fourth in Conference 3A according to the latest Texas High School Baseball Coaches Association poll, improved to 19-1-2, 9-0. The Jackrabbits continued district play on Friday against Paradise.
“We were able to get Lawson and Coby on the mound,” Rogers said. “I’m happy about the way the guys played. Some of the guys on the bench got a shot to contribute, and Kevin is a perfect example of that. He was able to come in and get his first hit and two RBIs. Good for him.”
Rogers said Mickler and Bentley pitched on Tuesday because the team needs to start thinking long-term into the playoffs.
“We wanted to give Chandler and Cooper some extra rest,” Rogers said.
Rogers said he was pleased with how the bats came alive, especially during the seventh inning when the Jackrabbits scored nine times. Read more, and see the box score, in the weekend Bowie News.

The Nocona Lady Indians beat Saint Jo at home on Saturday morning.
The Lady Indians won 16-1 after four innings due to run-rule against the smaller school.
Nocona was coming off a competitive loss at Collinsville earlier in the week while the Lady Panthers were hoping to compete after a busy week of their athletes doing everything else besides just softball.
The Lady Indians easily won the first matchup between the teams in March, 19-2 and it was more of the same on Saturday.
Saint Jo struck first to start the game off well. Jordyn O’Neal hit a one out single. Krista Reeves followed with a walk after O’Neal had stolen second base and had advanced to third thanks to an error trying to throw her out. A wild pitch then allowed her to score to put the Lady Panthers up 1-0.
The lead did not last long. Nocona’s first two batters drew walks which set up Abby Hill to drive them both in with a single to right field.
Despite giving up a single and a walk later in the inning, Saint Jo’s defense did not allow another run. A line out and groundout to the shortstop while picking off a runner attempting to steal got the Lady Panthers out of the inning unscarred.
The Lady Indians led 2-1.
That was about as competitive as it got. In the second inning, Nocona’s bats got going. Two singles and a hit batter loaded the bases up with no outs.
Reagan Phipps drew a walk that drove in a run. Hill hit another two RBI single. Skye Kirby followed with a two RBI double.
After the first out, Allie Sutton drove in one run with a single. There was a fly out for out two, before a runner came in to score after a passed ball. Finally, an error allowed two more runs to score on the base paths.
Nocona had scored nine runs and led 11-1 to break the game open heading into the third inning.
Taylor Patrick hit a double, with O’Neal and Reeves following with singles. Unfortunately for Saint Jo, Patrick was thrown out before the hits attempting to steal a base so the Lady Panthers scored no runs from this.
The Lady Indians kept pouring on the runs. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases up with no outs. Tinley Cable then hit an RBI single. Shelby Swell was hit by a pitch that drove in another run.
After two strikeouts, Evelyn Marquez drove in two more runs on a double to put Nocona up 15-1, coming up one run short of ending the game early.
The Lady Indians scored that one run in the fourth inning. After Phipps drew a leadoff walk, Hill hit a triple that drove her in to end the game.
Nocona won 16-1.
