Like has happened so often this season, former Bowie High School standout Brandon Workman was the victim of not enough run support.
Workman allowed just two earned runs on six hits while striking out five and walking two as the American League West-leading Los Angeles Angels defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2 at Fenway Park.
Overall, Workman threw 89 pitches, 59 of them for strikes.
“I was kind of on the aggressive side towards them,” Workman told the Boston Globe after the game. “I was able to do that tonight. Made it to where I was getting guys to swing at some pitches out of the zone for me, because I was throwing a lot of strikes.”
With the loss, Workman dropped to 1-7 on the season with a 4.26 earned run average.
Boston also committed a pair of errors.
Workman pulled through the first couple of innings without any damage, but the Angels got to him in the third.
Kole Calhoun walked, followed by a Mike Trout RBI double. Albert Pujols finished off the scoring with a single to score Trout from second.
Boston scored its lone run for Workman during the fourth inning as fellow Texan Brock Holt singled to score Mookie Betts. Read more in the mid-week edition of The Bowie News.

Saint Jo crew works all night to repair 8-inch water main
Marty Hilton and his crew with City of Saint Jo Public Works pulled an all nighter repairing an eight-inch water main break along U.S. 82 and Boggess Street. The break was reported around noon on Wednesday. City officials said one of the hardest parts was digging on U.S. 82 and when large trucks would go by the vibrations kept making the walls fall down causing them to be dug out again. The repair was completed at 10:30 a.m. Thursday and the water turned back on. The city is under a boil order until the water tests are complete, which can’t happen until Monday when the lab reopens.

Local businesswoman arrested in Hood County on TABC warrant
Tawni Jones Ledbetter was arrested on July 10 by law officers in Hood County on a warrant for making a false statement to the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission.
Ledbetter was released from jail on $10,000 bond. While the former owner of The Rack lists Bowie as where she lives, she also remarried earlier this year to a man who resides in Granbury.
The TABC complaint could be handled as a misdemeanor according to the public information office, but additional details were unavailable as of presstime. The PIO indicated it depends on the specific type of case and he did not have the warrant information at the time of the call.
Read the full story in the mid-week Bowie News.
CORRECTION – In the Wednesday Bowie News this article in the print edition stated Ledbetter was the owner of The Rack, this is incorrect. She is no longer owner of this business. We apologize for this error.
