Bowie softball loses to Paradise
The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost to Paradise on Monday night in a high scoring game.
The Lady Panthers won 20-9, run ruling the Lady Rabbits after six innings as they just could not keep up.
Bowie found itself down 4-0 before it could bat in the bottom of the first inning, but the team came back.
After loading the bases with two walks and a fielding error, KP Rutherford stepped up and hit a fly ball into centerfield that landed for a double that drove in two runs.
After a strikeout, Serenity Klump then hit a line drive into left field for another double that drove in two more runs to tie the game up. Following a strikeout, an error by the catcher allowed Klump to come in and score, putting the Lady Rabbits up 5-4 heading into the second inning.
Paradise answered with a single that drove in a run to tie the score up at 5-5 before Bowie could bat again.
Victoria Cox was hit by a pitch and Chloe Kinney followed when her line drive hit to the shortstop was bobbled for an error. A passed ball later allowed both runners to advance into scoring position.
After a strikeout, Imala Walker hit a groundball to the shortstop who committed another error that allowed both runners to come in and score. The Lady Rabbits were up 7-5.
Unfortunately, the Lady Panthers offense kept coming. Three singles, two doubles and a home run allowed Paradise to score five runs and go up 10-7.
Bowie got one run back. Klump led off with a triple to centerfield. A bunt laid down Sadie Britt then allowed her to come in and score due to a fielding error to cut the lead to 10-8.
The Lady Rabbits could not add to it. After Paradise added three and five runs in the fourth and five inning to make it 18-8, Bowie was just trying to avoid the run rule going into the bottom of the fifth inning.
The Lady Rabbits did as Klump led off with a single. She would steal both second and third base before coming into score due to a fielding error at third base during her second steal attempt. Bowie made it 18-9 and lived to play one more inning.
The Lady Panthers added two more runs in the sixth inning on a home run to make it 20-9. Bowie needed to score two runs in order to avoid getting run-ruled so it could advance to the seventh inning. Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits could not.

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.
