Bowie baseball bounces back with shutout win against City View
The Bowie Jackrabbits beat City View at home on Tuesday night to pick up the team’s second district win.
The Jackrabbits won 8-0 against the Mustangs to wash its teeth from the tough loss in the previous game.
Bowie was coming off an ugly game against Holliday it lost by run-rule and needed a pick-me-up. With the team starting its ace on the mound, Edmond De Leon, it was as good a game as any to get the team some momentum back.
The Jackrabbits got on the board first when Troy Kesey hit a solo home run far over the left field wall and closer to Mose Johnson Lake than any this season. Bowie led 1-0 after the first inning.
The Jackrabbits then scored more in the second inning. Will Cross scored on a wild pitch. Rayder Mann drove in a run on a single. Tucker Jones then drove him in on a triple. Boston Farris followed with a single to put Bowie up 5-0.
After a scoreless third inning, the Jackrabbits added a couple more in the fourth inning. Kesey led off with a single.
De Leon then hit a double two days later to drive him home. Cross, running for De Leon, then was driven in by a groundout from Hayden Rodgriguez to put Bowie up 7-0.
After a scoreless fifth inning, Bowie scored one last run in the sixth inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, Cy Egenbacher drove in one run on a single to make the final score 8-0.

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.

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.
