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.

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.
