Lady Rabbits fall to Henrietta to open district play
The Bowie Lady Rabbits started district on Tuesday by hosting Henrietta and it did not go well.
The Lady Cats beat the Lady Rabbits by run-rule 13-0 after five innings of play.
Bowie came into the game in a bit of a rough patch after some crucial injuries the previous week.
The Lady Rabbits were coming into the game after a tough tournament at Iowa Park.
Henrietta started fast, scoring six runs in the top of the first inning before Bowie had gotten to bat. The Lady Cats hit five singles, one triple, while drawing a walk and taking advantage of a fielding error.
The Lady Rabbit defense got in trouble in the second inning, with the bases loaded and no outs. A ground out allowed one run to score, but pitcher Kaylie Kinney struck out the next batter and induced a groundout at first base to get out of any more trouble.
Kinney followed up that play in the third inning by fielding two balls for outs and forcing a fly out to centerfield as Bowie allowed no base runners for the first time in the game.
Henrietta got two runs in the fourth inning. After a fielding error and a walk put two runners on base, a triple brought them home to put the Lady Cats up 9-0.
In the fifth inning, Henrietta loaded the bases with a single and two fielding errors.
A single drove in all three runners and a later single drove in one more run.
Bowie batters had failed to get on base all game and it did not change in the fifth inning. The game ended 13-0 by run-rule.

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.
