The Bowie Lady Rabbits had a great week last week, winning a district game and going 3-1 in their final tournament at Graham.
The Lady Rabbits were able to pick up their second district win against Vernon 10-2 before going on a much needed run of wins.
Bowie traveled to Vernon on March 5. The Lady Rabbits had played the Lady Lions the previous week to start off district and easily won 13-3, but since then a string of tough losses at the preceeding tournament soured the memory.
Bowie started the game well, scoring one run in three of the first four innings to go up 3-0. Vernon cut into the lead in the fourth inning, scoring two runs. The Lady Rabbits answered by turning up the heat with their bats, scoring three runs in both the fifth and seventh innings as Bowie pulled away. The Lady Rabbits won easily 10-2.
Sadie Britt led the team with three RBIs while Victoria Watson drove in two runs. KP Rutherford got the start on the mound and was dominant, striking out 16 batters and allowing two runs (zero earned) on three hits while Bowie’s defense committed two fielding errors.
The Lady Rabbits then traveled to Graham on March 6-7 and played four games and were able to keep up the good play.

The Lady Trojans cut the lead to one in the same inning. Bowie added one run in the final inning to its lead. Windthorst answered with one run, but came up short. The Lady Rabbits won 5-4.
Chloe Kinney led the team with two RBIs in the game. Rutherford pitched and allowed four runs on six hits while striking out seven batters and walking two. The defense committed three fielding errors.
Bowie next played Bridgeport. It was a close and low-scoring game the first four innings. The score was tied at 1-1 when the Lady Rabbits scored four runs in the fifth inning.
The Sissies could not answer and Bowie won 5-1 after five innings.
Laci Goodwin led the team with two RBIs while Britt and Kinney each had two hits to lead the team. Rutherford struck out 11 batters and allowed one run on four hits. The defense committed no fielding errors in the game.
The second day of the tournament saw the Lady Rabbits play the tournament host Graham. The Lady Blues had a successful run of scoring in four of the innings as they led 5-0 entering the sixth inning. Bowie’s offense showed some life, scoring three runs, but it was not enough. Graham won 5-3 after five and half innings played.
