The Bowie High School softball team let one victory get away, but the Lady Rabbits still went 1-1-1 on the opening day of the Bowie Invitational on Thursday.
Bowie deadlocked with Petrolia 8-all in one that slipped out, then the Lady Rabbits nipped Conference 5A Arlington Heights 13-12 in a run-scoring fiesta and, finally, Pilot Point doubled them up 10-5 in the nightcap.
Bowie continued tournament play on Friday with Cleburne, and the event wraps up today at 4 p.m. with a game versus Springtown.
“It was a good day, but it was also disappointing at the same time,” Bowie head coach Brant Farris said. “The Petrolia game we let get away, but we bounced back to beat Arlington Heights.”
Farris said he was satisfied with Bowie’s run production as evidenced by the fact the Lady Rabbits scored 26 runs in three games against good teams.
“I was pleased with the amount of runs we put up, we were scoring often,” Farris said. Read more, and see complete tournament box scores, in the Feb. 27 Bowie News.
