Bowie baseball loses series to Henrietta
The Bowie Jackrabbits lost their series against Henrietta last week as they search for their first district win.
The Jackrabbits lost to the Bearcats 10-0 and 9-5.
Bowie was coming off two series losses to Jacksboro and Iowa Park, but hoped it could compete better against a team not quite on those teams’ level.
The first game saw Henrietta jump out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning due to a fielding error and an RBI single. In the third inning, an RBI double and a fielding error at first base allowed two more runs to score as the Bearcats led 4-0.
The fourth inning saw Henrietta load the bases and score twice on drawn walks and hit two separate two RBI singles to extend its lead to 10-0.
Bowie needed to score at least one run to avoid getting run-ruled in the fifth inning, but besides drawing a two out walk, the Jackrabbits could not come through.
Bowie got hits from Boston Farris, Rayder Mann and Edmond De Leon, but those were the only hits in the game for the Jackrabbits.
On defense the team allowed 11 hits on the mound and had two fielding errors.
Bowie could only play better in the second game which was at home as well.
The Bearcats scored in the first inning on an RBI single to kick off the game. They added to it in the second inning, scoring two runs on a fielding error at third base and another run on a RBI double to go up 4-0.
The Jackrabbits answered in the bottom of the second inning. With the bases loaded Caden Belcher grounded into a fielder’s choice for an out at second base, but an error on the throw home allowed two runs to score. Later with a runner on third base, Austin Cheney laid down a bunt that scored a run and he was able to reach first safely to cut the lead to 4-3.
It did not stay close for long. Henrietta had a big fourth inning, scoring on an RBI single, two RBI double and a walk with the bases loaded as the Bearcats lead extended to 8-3
Henrietta added one more run in the fifth inning, hitting a sacrifice fly ball following a triple to make the score 9-3.
The score was the same entering the bottom of the seventh inning and Bowie down to its last three outs.
With runners at the corners, Mann tried to steal second base. An error on the throw allowed Mann to reach not just second base, but third base safely as Hayden Rodriguez scored from third base with no issue.
Next batter Trae Seigler struck out, which would have ended the game but it was dropped. He beat out the throw to first base which meant Mann’s run home counted and cut the lead to 9-5. Unfortunately, the next batter did strike out to end the game.

Saint Jo hosted its own volleyball tournament Sept. 10-12.

Forestburg’s volleyball team gave visiting Chico a solid test Sept. 8, but the Lady Dragons rebounded from a third-set loss to pull out the 3-1 win (25-23, 25-19, 25-27, 25-19).
The Lady Longhorns got out to a quick start with aces from freshmen Madi Wadsworth and Lacie Shotwell staking the squad to a 4-1 lead in game one. Wadsworth later broke a 4-all tie with a kill.
Addy Conway rolled off four straight points, helped by a Wadsworth kill to give Forestburg an 11-9 lead. Chico took a 16-14 lead but a Brenna Briles ace and Jocelyn Rich’s two points forced Chico into a timeout down 17-19.
The respite worked as it would be Forestburg’s last lead of game one, the Lady ‘Horns not having another serving point.

After splitting the first two games with Vernon Northside, Bowie’s volleyball team turned things out and wound with a 3-1 match win (25-17, 15-25, 25-17, 25-17).
Molly Enlow used two aces amidst a four-point string to give the Lady Rabbits a 5-1 lead in game one. Senior KP Rutherford’s pair of points extended the lead to 8-3.
Northside cut the deficit to 10-11 before Rutherford’s kill broke serve.
Bella Culwell’s point, aided by an Ellie Mowery kill, put Bowie up 13-10. Northside tied the game at 13 before Rutherford came through with another pair for a 17-14 lead. Lillie Maddox also had a deuce for a 20-15 lead and force a Lady INdian timeout.
Northside broke serve but a Sophie Maddox block and Lillie Maddox three-point string gave the squad game point at 24-16. The squads exchanged side outs to end the game.
