Bowie baseball has successful Walker Stallcup tournament
The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team had a successful run at its hosted Walker Stallcup tournament last weekend.
The Jackrabbits went 3-0, with only one close game as they head into district play this week with a good head full of positive momentum.
Bowie first played Grandview on the first day. The Jackrabbits took a 1-0 lead in the third inning before breaking the game open with four runs in the fifth inning and two in the sixth inning. The Zebras did just enough to breakup Bowie’s shut out in the final inning as the Jackrabbits won 7-1.
Hayden Rodriguez hit a three-run home run to lead the team while Boston Farris drove in two runs. Edmon DeLeon pitched four innings and struck out seven batters.
Bowie next played Decatur and it was the closest game of the tournament. The Eagles got the lead 1-0, but the Jackrabbits answered with two runs. Decatur then came back with two runs in the second inning before Bowie tied the score with one run in the third inning.
The Jackrabbits then scored a run in the fifth inning to take the lead 4-3. In the sixth inning the Eagles exploded with four runs and with the game ending one inning early due to tournament scheduling, Bowie had only one more time to bat.
The Jackrabbits responded with four runs of their own, with the walk-off run coming on an anti-climatic walk to DeLeon with the bases loaded.
Still, Bowie won 8-7.
Rodriguez again led the team in RBIs with two. Four different players drove in one run, including Troy Kesey who hit a solo home run in the game.
Bowie finished the tournament with a big blowout of North Dallas. The Jackrabbits took care of the Bulldogs in three innings due to run-rule, winning 16-0. Bowie scored 12 of the runs in the final inning.
Seth Mann hit a three-run home run and Farris drove in three runs to lead the team.
Tucker Jones and DeLeon each added two RBIs as well. Cooper Harris struck out six batters in the game.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).
The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.
Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.
The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.
It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.
The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.
Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
