Workman Watch: Red Sox don’t use Workman versus Yankees
Former Bowie High School standout pitcher Brandon Workman didn’t pitch out of the bullpen at all during last weekend’s series for the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees.
That means Workman’s last performance of the season took place on Sept. 18 at Pittsburgh against the Pirates – in which he earned a loss. The Red Sox wrapped up play this past Sunday.
Workman pitched well enough to win in that game, giving up three runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out six and walking three. He allowed a home run as Pittsburgh defeated Boston 3-2 at PNC Park.
Workman finished a disappointing 2014 campaign with a record of 1-10, which includes a 5.17 earned-run average.
He worked 87 innings, giving up 57 runs (50 earned) on 88 hits, including 11 home runs. Opponents finished the season batting .263 against Workman.
The Bowie Hall of Honor inductee struck out 70 and walked 36.
Workman fared much better with the Triple-A Pawtucket (R.I.) PawSox, going 7-1 with a 4.11 ERA. In 11 game starts and 61-1/3 innings pitched, he allowed 28 earned runs on 61 hits to go with 55 strikeouts and 17 walks. He surrendered 10 minor league homers, too.
It’s unclear what role Workman will have with the Red Sox for the 2015 season, and a return to the bullpen could be in the offing.
This marks the final Workman Watch for now, as news warrants on the 2007 Bowie High School graduate.

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.
