Workman watch: July 16
Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman got back on the winning track on Sunday, albeit with the Triple-A Pawtucket PawSox.
The PawSox defeated the Toledo Mud Hens 13-8 as Workman earned the win for Pawtucket in a game played at Toledo, Ohio. Pawtucket is the Triple-A franchise for the Boston Red Sox located in Rhode Island.
Workman allowed two runs in the bottom of the fifth, but the PawSox still had a commanding five-run lead at that juncture.
The Boston Red Sox demoted Workman last week, affording Brandon a chance to start a game while the Major League Baseball All-Star break took place.
Workman allowed four earned runs on 10 hits with three strikeouts and two walks.
This season for the PawSox, Workman has posted a 4-1 record with 37 strikeouts and a 5.36 earned-run average. He’s allowed 26 earned runs on 50 hits with 12 walks in 43-2/3 innings pitched.
Red Sox management has not indicated how long Workman will be back in Pawtucket, which opens a four-game homestand against Buffalo on Thursday.
With Boston, Workman has a 1-3 record, 4.13 earned-run average and 41 strikeouts in 52-1/3 innings of work. Opponents are batting .225 against Brandon in the majors this season.
A positive culture can be tough to install but will reap dividends if done correctly.
Trinadee Imotichey is trying to do just that with her Forestburg Lady Longhorns.
Imotichey, an assistant coach on the 2025 Forestburg volleyball team, was moved into the head coaching position. Last year’s coach, Cori Hayes, took over as football head coach.
Imotichey, in her 2nd year in Forestburg, said she learned a lot from Hayes and is ready to take over.

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.
