Rhyan Carle catches a line drive hit to her in center field.

The Bowie Lady Rabbits started district play on Tuesday playing a chilly game at Henrietta.
The Lady Cats won 10-0, winning by run-rule a half inning earlier than a full game.
Bowie came into the game after a tough tournament the previous weekend playing at Iowa Park.
The Lady Rabbits got one person on base in the opening inning when Chloe Kinney hit a single up the middle with one out.
Unfortunately, the other three batters at the top of Bowie’s lineup struck out, which would be a common occurrence.
The Lady Rabbits struck out 15 times during the six innings as they struggled to even touch Henrietta’s Kirstyn Barnard pitches.
The first inning hit also proved to be the only one for Bowie all game, although Chloe Kinney as well as Kaylie Kinney each drew walks to get some base runners on during the game.
The Lady Cats only scored in three innings, but when they did they scored several runs. The first inning saw two doubles, two singles, a walk and a fielding error score four runs to put Henrietta up 4-0
The Lady Rabbits then held for the next three innings, allowing only one base runner and no runs.
Unfortunately, the fifth inning was another explosion of hits from the Lady Cats, as a sole home run, a double, a single, a fielding error, a walk and a sacrifice ground out scored four more runs.
Bowie changed pitchers from Kaylie Kinney to Sadie Britt during the inning.
In the sixth inning, two singles, a fielding error and a fielder’s choice drove in the final two runs to end the game early in the bottom of the sixth inning. Henrietta won 10-0.
