Sure, the walk is not a glamorous part of the sport of baseball.
But, the team that normally draws more walks has a greater chance to win a game, and that’s what happened as Bowie downed Paradise 4-0 in District 3A-9 action on Tuesday.
Pete Cunningham and Trace Hardee combined for five walks and three runs, backing up yet another dazzling pitching performance from Chandler Dean.
“We haven’t been walking as much this year,” Bowie head baseball coach Ryan Rogers said. “Both Trace and Pete gave us quality at-bats. They both drew key walks and got us going. They both gave us what we were looking for.”
Bowie improved to 9-7-1, 3-0 in 3A-9, heading into what was expected to be a competitive game versus Henrietta on Friday night.
Dean pitched another masterful game, with 15 strikeouts and he only surrendered one hit.
The Northeast Texas Community College pledge allowed five walks, but he was able to get out of a jam in the fourth inning to help preserve Bowie’s lead.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
