Workman Watch: July 26 edition
Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman has found his groove again, as the Pawtucket Red Sox defeated the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs 5-1 on Thursday at Coca-Cola Park in Allentown, Pa.
Workman yielded just one earned run, one walk and five hits in six innings of work.
This means Workman has won all three of his starts since returning to the Boston Red Sox’ Triple-A franchise.
Workman (6-1) lowered his minor-league earned-run average to 4.45.
Overall this season for Pawtucket, Workman has allowed 27 earned runs and 58 hits in 54-2/3 innings of work through 10 starts. He’s struck out 49, walked 15, and surrendered nine home runs.
In the game last night, Pawtucket’s offense helped Workman by scoring two runs in the first inning. The PawSox added one run in the sixth and two more in the seventh.
The Major League Baseball trade deadline is next Thursday, July 31. There’s the possibility the Red Sox might trade starter Jake Peavy, who has been ineffective for Boston this season.
If Peavy is traded, there’s a chance Workman could be called back to the Red Sox next week. As for now, it’s unclear whether his next start will be for Pawtucket or Boston.

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.
