Jackrabbits run-rule Eastland 11-1
The Bowie Jackrabbits played their first official baseball game on Saturday when they hosted Eastland and got the win.
The Jackrabbits won by run-rule 11-1 after only five innings played as they dominated the Mavericks.
Bowie came into the game for the first time at full roster strength as several starting players are coming straight from basketball season, which ended earlier in the week.
The Jackrabbits jumped out to a lead from the start, scoring four runs in the first inning as Hayden Rodriguez hit a two RBI triple, Edmon De Leon hitting sacrifice fly and Trae Seigler driving in a run on a single.
Eastland got one run back in the second inning to cut it to 4-1, but Bowie was not done scoring. Rodriguez’s groundball to third base induced an error which allowed one run to score.
Later Braden Rhyne scored on a steal home and Rodriguez scored thanks to an error trying to prevent his stealing third base.
The Jackrabbits were up 7-1 entering the third inning when they started a two-out rally. Boston Farris scored on a wild pitch and then De Leon’s single to right field induced an error on the throw to score another run. Bowie led 9-1.
After a scoreless fourth inning, the Jackrabbits entered the fifth inning needing to score two runs to end the game early.
Rodriguez hit a groundball to the shortstop that induced an error that scored one run. De Leon followed with a line drive single to drive in the last run as the game ended.
Bowie won 11-1.

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.
