Jackrabbits run over Vernon 13-2
The Bowie Jackrabbits got a big pick-me-up win at home against Vernon on Friday night.
The Jackrabbits won 13-2 after five innings due to run-rule against the Lions.
Bowie was coming off tough losses against Jacksboro and Iowa Park and needed a game to get its confidence back. The Jackrabbits had beaten Vernon the first time pretty easily 8-2, but really needed to bounce back after losing by run-rule to Iowa Park.
Bowie started off fast in the first inning. Seth Mann drove in Tucker Jones with a single. Two singles later with the bases loaded, Edmon DeLeon drove in a run with a single up the middle.
After a shallow fly out, Rayder Mann hit a two RBI single. Will Cross then came up to bat and hit a groundball to the shortstop that resulted in an error and another run came in to score.
The Jackrabbits were up 6-0 after the first inning.
Bowie kept it up in the second inning. With two hit batters and a single loading the bases up with no outs, De Leon drew a walk that scored one run. Cy Egenbacher followed with a two RBI single.
A balk allowed another run to come in and score. Two batters later, Cross grounded out to third base, but it drove in another run to put the Jackrabbits up 11-0.
Strangely, the teams exchanged scoreless third and fourth innings before Vernon batters finally got on the board.
After a leadoff single, a double scored the runner from first base. The Lions then executed a sacrifice bunt that allowed the base runner, who had advanced to third base, to score and make it 11-2.
Bowie needed to score at least one run to end the game early due to run-rule. The bats had stalled with the team being a bit too over aggressive after the hot start, but were locked in and focused after facing a bit of adversity on defense.
Tucker Jones hit a one out single and Mann followed by drawing a walk. After a strikeout for out two, Hayden Rodriguez came through with a hit into the gap for a double that scored both runs before his teammate mauled him during the celebration at second base.
Bowie won 13-2.

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.
