Workman Watch: August 13 edition
Former Bowie High School and current Boston Red Sox pitcher Brandon Workman was pressed into service during a marathon, 19-inning baseball game on Saturday at Angels Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.
Workman was brought in for the bottom of the 19th, and he faced Angels’ slugger Albert Pujols.
Six pitches later, Pujols deposited a Workman pitch over the fence in right centerfield, an opposite-field home run to give the Angels a 5-4 victory over the Red Sox.
“As hard-fought as we played this game, as did they, sometimes these extended games when you come out on the short end can feel like two losses,” said Red Sox manager John Farrell to MLB.com’s Quinn Roberts after the game.
Both teams scored once during the 14th inning, which ultimately set up Pujols’ dramatics. The Angels knotted the game at 3-all with a run in the bottom of the eighth.
Despite pitching Saturday night, it is expected Workman will make his scheduled start at 6 p.m. tonight against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ballpark.
Workman’s record dropped to 1-6 at the major league level, the complete opposite of his 6-1 mark at the Red Sox’ Triple-A affiliate, the Pawtucket (R.I.) PawSox.
Overall, Workman’s earned-run average is 4.45 and he’s allowed nine major-league home runs this year. Brandon has made 10 starts and pitched in 14 games, throwing 62-2/3 innings. He’s surrendered 36 runs (31 earned) on 54 hits while striking out 48 and walking 25.
The Reds will counter Workman was seasoned veteran Homer Bailey in this battle of right-handers. This will mark Workman’s first-ever career start against Cincinnati.

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.
