The Boston Red Sox called up former Bowie High School standout Brandon Workman for Wednesday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays didn’t make things easy for Workman, who had spent his previous three starts in the minor leagues for the Pawtucket (R.I.) PawSox.
Workman allowed five runs (only two earned), four walks and four hits in five innings of work as the Blue Jays topped the Red Sox 6-1 at Fenway Park. Brandon struck out only two in his 99-pitch performance.
After the game, Boston Herald reporter Michael Silverman interviewed Workman.
“I couldn’t get ahead of anybody, I put the first two guys on,” Workman said, “they both ended up scoring, so yeah it was definitely a matter all game of fighting command.”
Workman surrendered two runs in the opening inning, and he yielded three more in the fifth as the Blue Jays took a commanding lead. All three runs Workman gave up in the fifth were unearned, and he committed one of two Boston errors during the frame.
Workman’s best inning was the fourth when he retired Toronto’s batters in order. Read the weekend edition of The Bowie News for more.

Bowie held off a stiff challenge from Slidell in Nocona Summer League action June 22, the Lady Rabbit basketball team posting a 17-15 win over the Lady ‘Hounds.

Slidell took a pair of early leads only to be met by a basket and 3-pointer by junior Laney Segura for a 5-4 Bowie lead. Sophomore newcomer Sawyer Martin’s free throws and a Kynlee Baker basket extended the lead to 9-4 midway through the 16-minute running clock first half.

Each team traded baskets to close the half, Bowie’s basket from Kylee Waldrep, as the Lady Rabbits took advantage of cold shooting from the Lady ‘Hounds to lead 11-6 at the break.

Slidell got within one early in the second half, using a size advantage inside for a couple of layins to get within 11-10 with about 12 minutes left. Bowie used another small run to take control again.
