Baseball
The Bowie Jackrabbits walloped City View on the road Friday night after almost a week of not playing.
The Jackrabbits won 18-0 coming off the bye-game, winning in five innings due to run-rule.
Bowie last played the previous weekend at a tournament in Graham to try and stay sharp the second half of spring break. The extra time off must have done good as well since the Jackrabbits came out swinging.
In the top of the first inning Carson Sanders drove in a run with a single. Jake Fallis followed by driving in a run on a groundout. Kynan DeMoss then hit a fly ball to right field that induced an error that scored another run. Colton Richey then drove him in on a single to make it 4-0.
Cade Thompson got the start on the mound and struck out two of the three batters he faced as the game moved to the second inning.
Devin Melton drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. Sanders would score on a passed ball and DeMoss followed with an RBI double to make it 7-0.
Thompson again struck out two batters, but also walked one with the one out. The base runner never advanced as the game moved to the third inning.
Brody Armstrong drove in a run grounding out to the shortstop. Tucker Jones later drove in a run on a single. Sanders then drove him in with a double to make the score 10-0.
Thompson struck out the side to advance the game into the fourth inning.
Armstrong would hit a double with the bases loaded that drove in two runs. Thompson followed it up with another double that drove in one run. Sanders would hit a sacrifice fly to score one more run to make it 14-0.
The Mustangs got their first hit of the game with a leadoff single. Thompson would then strike out the next three batters and the base runner would again be stranded at first base.
In the fifth inning, Kawlyer Swearingin drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. Logan Hutson followed with a double that drove in a run.
Armstrong hit a groundball that induced an error that allowed another run to score. Two batters later Melton drove in a run with a single to make the score 18-0.
Melton came in to get the save on the mound. City View was able to get two base hits in the inning to try and stave off the end of the game. Melton was able to strike out three batters in the inning to end the game.
Bowie won 18-0.

Softball
After more than a week since the Bowie Lady Rabbits last game, the team lost at City View on Friday.
The Lady Mustangs won 12-1 in four and half innings due to run-rule.
Bowie was rusty game wise since it had last played earlier the week of spring break. City View proved to be too much from the beginning.
The Lady Mustangs scored four runs in the first inning, adding one more in the second to go up 5-0. In the fourth inning City View would score seven runs to go up 12-0.
The Lady Rabbits would need to score three or more runs to be able to continue the game past the fifth inning.
Maddie Mandela led off by getting on second base thanks to an error.
Following a strikeout, Kaylie Kinney hit a groundball single to left field that allowed Mandela to come in and score a run.
Kenzie Short followed by drawing a walk. Rylie Vieth followed with a groundball to first base that caused an error and allowed her to get on base.
With the bases loaded and only one out, it looked good that Bowie would be able to score two more runs or more.
Unfortunately, the next two batters grounded out for outs two and three to end the game. City View won 12-1.

Saint Jo vs Bellevue
The Saint Jo Panthers got out of their early season funk as they beat fellow 1A Bellevue twice last week on two different days.
The Panthers won the first high-scoring game 15-9 before shut out the Eagles 10-0 in the second game.
Saint Jo had a rough beginning to its season, with mostly ugly losses and only one win.
Bellevue came in with no wins, but it was not unexpected due to it being the Eagles first year as a program since the late 1990s.
Bellevue led the first game for most of it scoring five runs in the first inning and just holding off the Panthers 5-4 heading into the sixth inning.
Saint Jo then caught fire, scoring six runs in the sixth inning to take its first lead since the first inning. The Eagles kept it close and scored four runs to make it a one run game 10-9 heading into the final inning.
The game had to be postponed due to Bellevue’s new field not having any lights to play past a certain time.
When the game was picked up three days later, the Panthers added five more run to their lead. The Eagles could not answer and Saint Jo won the game 15-9.
Devein Stewart and Logan Hoover led the Panthers four RBIs each while Charlie Evans and R Forrester drove in two runs each.
Trent Gaston pitched 4.1 innings and allowed two runs and struck out seven batters to lead the team.
Saint Jo’s defense committed four errors.
For Bellevue, Brayden Moore led the team with three RBIs while Bryce Ramsey and Ryan Jones each drove in two runs.
Ramsey pitched five innings and allowed four runs while striking out nine batters to lead the team.
The second game picked up right after the end of the first game. Unfortunately for the Eagles, the second game went similarly to the end of first game.
Saint Jo scored three runs in the first inning, four in the second inning and three in the third inning.
The Panther defense shut out Bellevue and the game ended with Saint Jo winning 10-0 after four and half innings due to run rule.
Sam Martin led the Panthers with four RBIs while Evans drove in two runs. Stewart pitched three innings and allowed one hit and one walk while striking out six batters. Hoover pitched two innings and struck out four batters while allowing no hits and walking two batters. The team committed no fielding errors.
For Bellevue, River Trail got the only hit in the game for the team. The team drew three walks, but could not get on base.
Blake Reese led the team with two innings pitched and three earned runs on two hits and five walks while striking out two batters. The defense committed no fielding errors.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians lost their second game against Muenster on Friday on the road.
The Indians lost 10-0 after five innings due to run-rule as the Hornets picked up all of their runs in one horrible inning for Nocona.
The score was tied at 0-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning. The Indian defense had navigated one out singles the first two innings without letting it morph into anything threatening.
Unfortunately, the third inning saw Muenster get going from the first batter.
Five singles, two doubles, two walks and a hit batter later saw the Hornets score 10 runs.
Nocona’s bats had been able to get someone on base in most innings despite Walker Murphey getting the team’s only base hit, but could not get a run to score.
The Indian defense did bounce back to not allow any runs in the fourth or fifth inning, but with no runs coming through for Nocona, the game ended after five innings.
Muenster won 10-0.
