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.

After a tough loss to open District 10-A volleyball play, Bellevue’s squad used the two-day break to refocus its efforts. The break worked as the Lady Eagles evened its record at 1-1 with a 3-0 win over visiting Midway Sept. 24 (25-17, 25-22, 25-20).

Bellevue Coach Jamie Hickey said working on game scenarios in practice has begun to pay off. Keeping focus was key to the victory as well.

“I think our key tonight was our mindset and just staying together,” Hickey said. “Letting mistakes go and focusing on the next play. We’ve been working on scenarios in practice and being intentional with each possession and attacking the ball more. I think we did tonight.” The Falcons played gutsy all night long, staying in each game after Bellevue had taken a good lead but the Lady Eagles, playing before a large crowd, held their own.
