Workman Watch: July 23 edition
Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman excelled in his second start since returning to the Pawtucket PawSox.
In Saturday’s 3-1 victory over the Buffalo Bisons at Pawtucket, R.I., Workman struck out six and walked only two in five innings of work. He didn’t allow any earned runs and just three hits over that span.
Overall, Workman threw 99 pitches, 59 of them for strikes. Pawtucket scored one run in the fourth and another in the fifth. That was all the PawSox staff needed to beat Buffalo.
The win improved Workman’s record in the minors to 5-1 this season, and lowered his earned-run average to 4.81.
Workman now has 43 strikeouts and 14 walks in 48-2/3 innings pitched, surrendering 26 earned runs on 53 hits. He has started nine times for the PawSox.
Workman was demoted earlier this month by the parent club, the Boston Red Sox.
As of press time, the Red Sox have not committed whether to bring Workman back to Boston.
In a Saturday story written by Jimmy Toscano from Comcast New England, Red Sox manager John Farrell was asked about Workman’s status.
“He needs to continue what he was working on between starts here,” Farrell said, “and that is more consistent command in the bottom of the strike zone. When he’s been down, that’s when he’s been most effective.
“Coming back from the time suspended, and the delay that was in there,” Farrell continued, “he was having a little bit more of a difficult time getting to the bottom of the strike zone. And we saw the home runs as a result of that. So, that’s what we’re focusing on.”
Workman gave up six home runs during his final four starts with the team before his demotion, losing three of those games.

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.
