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.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
