Bowie softball loses to Paradise
The Bowie Lady Rabbits lost to Paradise on Monday night in a high scoring game.
The Lady Panthers won 20-9, run ruling the Lady Rabbits after six innings as they just could not keep up.
Bowie found itself down 4-0 before it could bat in the bottom of the first inning, but the team came back.
After loading the bases with two walks and a fielding error, KP Rutherford stepped up and hit a fly ball into centerfield that landed for a double that drove in two runs.
After a strikeout, Serenity Klump then hit a line drive into left field for another double that drove in two more runs to tie the game up. Following a strikeout, an error by the catcher allowed Klump to come in and score, putting the Lady Rabbits up 5-4 heading into the second inning.
Paradise answered with a single that drove in a run to tie the score up at 5-5 before Bowie could bat again.
Victoria Cox was hit by a pitch and Chloe Kinney followed when her line drive hit to the shortstop was bobbled for an error. A passed ball later allowed both runners to advance into scoring position.
After a strikeout, Imala Walker hit a groundball to the shortstop who committed another error that allowed both runners to come in and score. The Lady Rabbits were up 7-5.
Unfortunately, the Lady Panthers offense kept coming. Three singles, two doubles and a home run allowed Paradise to score five runs and go up 10-7.
Bowie got one run back. Klump led off with a triple to centerfield. A bunt laid down Sadie Britt then allowed her to come in and score due to a fielding error to cut the lead to 10-8.
The Lady Rabbits could not add to it. After Paradise added three and five runs in the fourth and five inning to make it 18-8, Bowie was just trying to avoid the run rule going into the bottom of the fifth inning.
The Lady Rabbits did as Klump led off with a single. She would steal both second and third base before coming into score due to a fielding error at third base during her second steal attempt. Bowie made it 18-9 and lived to play one more inning.
The Lady Panthers added two more runs in the sixth inning on a home run to make it 20-9. Bowie needed to score two runs in order to avoid getting run-ruled so it could advance to the seventh inning. Unfortunately, the Lady Rabbits could not.

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.

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.
