Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians lost to Lindsay on Friday night.
The Lady Knights won 12-1, with the game ending after six innings due to run-rule.
The Lady Indians were coming off two run-rule wins themselves earlier in the week in their double-header against Era and was on a four game winning streaks.
Unfortunately, that streak ended as Nocona bats just could not keep up with Lindsay’s constant stream of runs in almost every inning.
The Lady Knights got on the board first inning, but the Lady Indians answered in the top of the second inning. Abby Hill led off with a single. She would second base before a teammate grounded out to the shortstop.
After making the routine throw to first base for an out, Lindsay tried to then throw it to third base to prevent Hill from advancing. The throw resulted in a fielding error which allowed Hill to come in and score to tie the game up at 1-1.
Nocona then had its only scoreless inning of the game to cap off the second inning, not allowing even a single base runner on as it looked like the game was going to be competitive and the Lady Indians had a bit of momentum.
Nocona even had a leadoff walk and got Lindsay to commit a fielding error on a pop up to get two runners on base with one out.
Unfortunately, the Lady Indians could not get either runner home and Lindsay was in control from there.
The Lady Knights scored two runs in the third inning, one in the fourth, three in the fifth inning before scoring five runs in the sixth inning to end the game due to run-rule on a three RBI double.
Lindsay won 12-1.

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.
