Bowie softball season comes to an end
The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost their final game of the season on Saturday at City View.
The Lady Rabbits lost a close game 7-5 against the Lady Mustangs, ending a tough district slate.
Bowie came in following a tough loss against playoff bound Holliday, but knew it had a chance against City View. The Lady Mustangs won only 6-4 the first time the two teams played several weeks back. With a playoff berth not possible, it was all about pride in the final high school game for several seniors.
Bowie took the lead at the beginning in the top of the first inning. With the bases loaded thanks to two walks, a hit batter and only one out, Kaylie Kinney drove in one run with a sacrifice fly ball to center field to make it 1-0.
City View wrestled the lead away in the same inning, getting helped by two infield errors that helped score two runs, giving the Lady Mustangs a 2-1 lead after the first inning.
The Lady Rabbits answered quickly as Kenzie Short drove in two runs with a double followed by Chloe Kinney who drove her in with a double. Bowie led 4-2.
The Lady Mustangs got one of those runs back and trailed 4-3. City View then one inning later in the fourth tied the score up by scoring one more run, making it 4-4 heading into the fourth inning.
After a scoreless fourth, the Lady Mustangs retook the lead in the bottom of the fifth inning, scoring one run to go up 5-4.
Bowie got the run back at the start of the sixth inning. Chloe Kinney drove in another run on a fielder’s choice to tie the score up at 5-5, but the Lady Rabbits failed to take the lead.
This kept the window open for City View as three straight fielding errors allowed two runs to score as the Lady Mustangs led 7-5 heading into the final inning.
Bowie failed to get any runner on base as the game ended.
City View won 7-5.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
