The Bowie Jackrabbits took a trip to Grandview on Saturday morning to play a non-district game following a couple of tough losses.
The Zebras won a high scoring game 12-10 against the Jackrabbits.
Bowie’s previous two games were losses against Jacksboro and Holliday where the team had trouble scoring runs in super competitive pitching duels.
That went out the window on Saturday as the game also was used to get everyone on the roster some playing time at certain points in the every evolving lineup.
The Jackrabbits struck first with five runs in the first inning. Cade Thompson drove in one run on a single followed by Colton Richey driving in two runs with a single. Later Logan Hutson drove in two more runs on a single to make it 5-0.
Grandview answered back with two runs in the first inning on a steal of home plate and wild pitch.
Bowie added to its lead in the second inning as Jake Fallis hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield to make it 6-2.
The Jackrabbits then had an uncharacteristic inning from hell. Bowie gave up four singles while walking three batters and hitting another as the Zebras scored seven runs to take the lead 9-6.
That took the wind out of the Jackrabbits sails and the team failed to score runs in both the third and fourth innings. Grandview continued to add to its lead, scoring one run in the third inning on a sacrifice fly and two runs in the fourth inning on a two-RBI double.
The Zebras led 12-6 entering the fifth inning when Bowie started to fight back. Hutson drove in an un-earned run thanks to an error fielding the ball. Kawlyer Swearingin then drove in two runs on a single to cut the lead to 12-9.
In the next inning, the Jackrabbits had runners at the corners with only one out.
The team did a double-steal, with Thompson getting thrown out at second base, but Fallis scoring on his steal of home. The run cut the lead to 12-10 heading into the final inning.
Unfortunately, there would be no seventh inning magic this day. Bowie failed to get any runners on base and would lose the game 12-10.
