Baseball Roundup
Nocona
The Nocona Indians baseball team lost at Alvord on Friday after five innings due to run-rule.
The Bulldogs won 10-0 against the Indians to win the week long series against Nocona.
The Indians had lost by a bigger margin in their first game against Alvord 19-1. Nocona was hoping to play better and while the team still lost by double-digits, it did the second time around.
The two teams were tied after a scoreless first inning. The Bulldogs broke open the game in the second by scoring five runs in the second inning.
While Nocona did a better job defensively as the game went along, it still could not keep Alvord off the scoreboard in the final three innings.
The Bulldogs scored two runs in the third inning, one in the fourth inning and two in the fifth inning to end the game.
Alvord won 10-0.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost a heartbreaker at Chico on Friday.
The Dragons came back to score two runs in the final inning to win 6-5.
The Panthers won a close, low-scoring game against Chico earlier in the week 3-2, which was on the heels of a tough, one-sided series against Perrin-Whitt.
Saint Jo got the lead first when Logan Hoover hit an RBI single in the top of the first inning. The Dragons got the lead in the same inning when a two out fielding error in the outfield resulted in two runs scoring to go up 2-1.
After a scoreless second inning, the Panthers got the lead back in the third inning. Charlie Evans hit a two RBI double and then Trent Gaston drove in another run on a single to put Saint Jo up 4-2.
The Panthers added one run to the lead when Sam Martin hit a sacrifice fly ball to make it 5-2 for Saint Jo.
After two scoreless innings in the second and third, it was time for Chico to get some offense going again in response during the same inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, a Dragon player came through with a single that drove in two runs to cut the lead down to one run 5-4.
The score stayed the same as the teams exchanged scoreless fifth and sixth innings as the Panthers tried to hang on to their one run lead.
In the bottom of the seventh, Chico got something going. The Dragons drew back-to-back walks to start the inning. A wild pitch allowed both runners to advance into scoring position. A fly ball to center field was deep enough to allow one run to score and tie the game up at 5-5.
Saint Jo then did an intentional walk to put runners at the scorners. The next batter then hit another fly ball to center field for out two. Unfortunately, it was deep enough to allow the runner on third base to score.
Chico won 6-5.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
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.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

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.
