HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL: Same script on a different day

The script was very much the same for the Bowie High School softball team in Friday’s Conference 3A-Region I bi-district game against Peaster.
The Lady Hounds established an early lead, and that left Bowie clawing and scratching for runs that were hard to come by.
That’s because Peaster pitcher Rylie Melton proved too tough in the circle yet again, and the Lady Hounds earned a 3-1 win over Bowie to claim the best-of-3 series.
“It was the spinning of the ball,” said Bowie coach Brant Farris. “She was not overpowering, but we had a hard time getting solid contact on the barrel of the bat. She gets the credit for that.”
The Lady Rabbits’ season ends with a 15-14 record; however, with a return to the playoffs after a one-year absence. Bowie will lose center fielder Addy Cook, second baseman Henslee Ogle and utility player Makenzie Vandeventer to graduation.
Kalee Case was the starting pitcher for Bowie, and she kept Peaster off the scoreboard in the third though seventh innings.
However, the Lady Hounds’ usual suspects provided enough offense. Baylee Chapman opened the first inning with a single, and Taci Tatum followed that with a bunt, which Case had trouble fielding.
Chapman scored on a fielder’s choice, and Tatum pushed across a run on Katie Ruddy’s RBI groundout to Bowie shortstop Taylor McCarty. Read more, and see the complete box score, in the May 3 Bowie News.
