The Lady Rabbits offense found some success in the fourth inning. Klump led off drawing a walk. She stole second bases. Walker grounded out, but Klump came in to score.
Laney Oliver then hit a single and Sadie Britt followed by getting hit by a pitch. Sage Gossett then hit a single that drove in Oliver. Cox was later hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Bowie could not bring any more runs home.
