Catcher Hayden Rodriguez tries to block the plate, but the Holliday runner goes between his legs.

The Bowie Jackrabbits lost to Holliday at home on Friday night in a one-sided game that ended early.
The Eagles won 16-2 after five innings due to run-rule as the Jackrabbits let two bad defensive innings get away from them.
Bowie came into the game following its first district win at Vernon earlier in the week. While defending district champs Holliday is always a tough game to win, the Jackrabbits can usually compete well and even beat the Eagles on any given night the last few years.
The first inning was the most competitive of stretch of the game.
Trae Seigler got the start on the mound. Holliday got on base with an infield single with one out. When the runner went to steal second base, an error on the throw allowed him to then advance to third base. A deep fly ball off the centerfield wall resulted in a triple and the run to score. Thankfully, Seigler induced an infield pop out to limit the Eagles to one run, up 1-0.
Bowie got the run back in the same inning. With two outs, Troy Kesey hit a fly ball to right field that resulted in an error that allowed him to reach second base. Seth Mann then followed with a single to get him home and tie the score at 1-1.
The problems started in the second inning for the Jackrabbits.
Holliday drew a leadoff walk. After a fly out and a stolen second base, a groundball to shortstop and some indecision allowed both runners at the corners to be safe.
The base runner then stole second base to put two runners in scoring position for the Eagles. The next batter then hit to shortstop and another fielding error allowed both runners to score.
Two hard hit singles followed that drove in two more runs and Cy Egenbacher came in to pitch relief.
After a line out for out two and an intentional walk, Holliday went to steal third and second base.
An error on the throw to third base allowed the runner to come in and score to put the Eagles up 6-1 before a fly out ended things for Bowie.
The Jackrabbit offense could not respond and things only got worse in the third inning.
Three pitchers took turns in the inning as Holliday scored nine runs on eight singles, a home run and a walk to go up 15-1 and essentially end the game.
Bowie got one of the runs back in the same inning.
Rayder Mann drew a walk with one out and would steal second and third base. Boston Farris then drove him in with a single to make it 15-2.
Seth Mann had come in to pitch later in the previous inning and besides hitting a batter, shut down Holliday’s offense and allowed no runs in the fourth inning.
He then led off the same inning with a triple, but unfortunately Bowie hitters could not get him home.
The Eagle hitters drew three straight walks to load the bases to start the fifth inning and Andrew Sandhoff came in to pitch relief.
After a strikeout, a groundout allowed one run to score to make it 16-2 before Sandhoff induced another groundout for out three.
Bowie needed to score five runs to keep the game from ending early due to run-rule.
Unfortunately, there would be no miracle come back.
All three batters struck out to end the ugly game for the Jackrabbits.
Holliday won 16-2.
