Lady Rabbits lose on the road 19-9
The Bowie Lady Rabbits traveled to Mineral Wells on Tuesday to play in their final non-district game.
Due to rain, the game was moved to a road game and the Lady Rabbits ended up losing 19-9 in five innings.
Early in the game, Bowie was able to strike first. The Lady Rabbits loaded the bases when Gracie Bentley hit a one out single that drove in two runs. She scored a batter later thanks to a passed ball to put Bowie up 3-0.
Mineral Wells answered in the bottom of the first inning. A runner reaching base thanks to an error and a single put two runners on with no outs. A wild pitch and a passed ball allowed both of them to score to cut the lead to 3-2 heading to the second inning.
The Lady Rabbits were again able to get two base runners on. A passed ball allowed both runners to advance to scoring position. Next batter Season Eudey drove in one run as she grounded to the shortstop.
After another single put runners at the corner, Carrington Davis hit a triple to left field. It was enough to drive in both runners. Next batter Kylie Fleming laid down a sacrifice bunt to score Davis and put Bowie up 7-2.
Unfortunately, the Lady Rams fired back with a five run inning to tie the game 7-7 in the bottom of the second inning thanks to three hits, one hit batter and one fielding error.
The Lady Rabbits got a hand to start the third inning. The first two batters were able to reach the base thanks to fielding errors. Jasmine Jones was then able to single to left field to drive in one run. With no outs it looked like it was going to be another big inning for Bowie.
The next batter hit the ball to the shortstop, who fumbled the play and allowed the third Lady Rabbit runner to reach base thanks to an error in that inning. Unfortunately, Mineral Wells was able to get the runner out going to second base for the first out.
Bowie was not able to take any more advantage as their next two batters popped up to the pitcher and struck out for the final two outs as the Lady Rabbits led 8-7.
The Lady Rams continued their hot offensive play. A leadoff single and walk had two runners on base with no outs. Back-to-back outs from a ground out and a sacrifice fly score both runners to give Mineral Wells its first lead.
The Lady Rams were not done in the bottom of the third inning. Three hits, a walk and a fielding error allowed for three more runs to score. Mineral Wells led 12-8 heading into the fourth inning.
Bowie started the inning off right. Davis led off with a single and next batter Fleming drove her in with a triple to right field to cut the lead to 12-9. Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits could not get her home as the next three batters were sat down.
The Lady Rams were able to load the bases thanks to a dropped third strike, a single and a hit batter with one out.
After a pop out for the second out, a double drove in two runs. An error during this time allowed another run to score. A passed ball allowed the runner to score. Three more walks and a single allowed three more runs to score as Mineral Wells led 19-9.
Bowie needed to score at least one run to keep the game going after the fifth inning. Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits offense was stalled for the first time all game as the three batters were all sat down in order to end the game.

Nocona
The Nocona Indians picked up dominant wins against Chico in their series against the Dragons last week.
The Indians won both games 11-0 by run-rule after five innings to get their first district wins of the season.
Nocona was coming off losing both games against Lindsay the previous week in its first district series and bounced back in a big way.
In the first game at home last week, the Indians scored six runs in the first inning and five in the third inning which proved to be all the offense they needed.
Kutter Cabrera led the team with three RBIs while Miller Jentry was second with two RBIs. The team finished with nine hits and drew eight walks.
On the mound, Walker Murphey pitched a shut out while striking out seven and allowing three hits. Defensively, the team committed one fielding error.
The second game saw Nocona score all of its runs in the first three innings, highlighted by scoring six runs in the second inning.
Murphey hit a three-run home run to lead the team while Brody Langford and Landon Fatheree each had two RBIs.
On the mound RJ Walker had a big day, throwing a perfect four innings which means he did not allow a hit or walk anyone. He also struck out eight batters, which put him over 100 career strikeouts in high school. The defense committed no fielding errors.
Saint Jo
The Saint Jo Panthers lost their series against Bryson last week.
The first game was a close 3-0 loss, but the second game was 11-0, done after four and half innings due to run-rule.
The Panthers were coming off close losses to Perrin-Whitt from the previous week. They were hoping they could turn their fortune around playing another 1A program.
Unfortunately in the first game, the Cowboys got off to a good start, scoring three runs in the first inning, with two coming with two outs due to an error and a dropped third strike.
Saint Jo’s pitching and defense tightened up after that to not allow another run in the final six innings. Unfortunately, the Panthers had only two hits and four base runners all game as they lost the close game 3-0.
Charlie Evans and Rylan Forrest had the only two hits for Saint Jo in the game as the team struck out 18 times. Trent Gaston ended the game allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits while striking out five batters and walking two in six innings of work. The defense committed five fielding errors.
Unfortunately, things did not go as well several days later in game two. Bryson scored three runs in both the first and second innings before scoring five runs in the third inning. Saint Jo was not able to get a hit and drew two walks in the game.
The Panther defense committed six fielding errors which led to only three of the 11 runs given up were earned by the pitching staff who gave up five hits, walked six and hit four batters.
Bellevue
The Bellevue Eagles played Perrin-Whitt last week in a series.
The Pirates won the first game 11-1 by run-rule and the second game score was not updated on Game Changer.

Bellevue did get out to an early lead in the first inning. River Trail hit an RBI single in the top of the first inning to go up 1-0, which proved to be the highlight of the game.
Perrin-Whitt scored three runs in the first inning, one in the second inning, two in the fourth inning and five in the fifth inning to win 11-1.
