The second inning proved to be the worst for the Lady Rabbits. Two RBI singles and three-run inside the park home run allowed the Lady Hawks to score five runs to go up 5-0.

Bowie’s best chance came in the sixth inning, loading the bases up with two outs. Unfortunately, the next batter popped it out to the shortstop for out three.
That seemed to affect the seventh inning on defense. A fielding error at third base got the first base runner on with one out. Two RBI singles and an RBI triple followed as Iowa Park scored three runs in the final inning.
The Lady Rabbits could not answer in their final at-bats and the Lady Hawks won 8-0.
