MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: Workman suffers a rehab setback
Brandon Workman’s recovery from Tommy John surgery hit a snag last week.
Workman, pitching for the Single-A Lowell Spinners in Massachusetts on July 8, was roughed up and apparently suffered yet another injury.
The Spinners are a short-season affiliate of the Boston Red Sox playing in the New York-Penn League.
Workman entered a game versus the Connecticut Tigers in the sixth inning, and he allowed four straight opponents to reach base.
He yielded a single, and then another batter reached on an error by Spinners’ shortstop Carlos Tovar. That was followed by a walk and another single.
Workman then worked Tiger batter Blaise Salter to a 3-1 count before leaving the game with an injury.
Spinners trainer Scott Gallon, manager Iggy Suarez and pitching coach Lance Carter all went to the mound to check on the former Bowie High School standout.
Workman was then brought back to the dugout.
He was eventually charged with four runs (three earned) on two hits and two walks – taking the loss as the Tigers defeated the Spinners 5-2.
“He kind of just felt something on his side,” Suarez said to Matt Langone of the Lowell Sun newspaper, “so it was precautionary to get him out before it got any worse.” It was later determined Workman suffered a strained oblique. Read the July 20 Bowie News for more.

Landry Norwood has agreed to become the new Head Boys Basketball Coach for Bowie High.
Norwood grew up in Paradise, playing a number of sports for the Panthers during his high school career. With a number of family members still in the area and the position coming open, Norwood applied and was hired.
“I know the tradition up here,” Norwood said. “I was glad (Athletic Director and Head Football) Coach Tyler Price felt he could put his trust in me.”
Bowie’s varsity went 2-10 last year, both wins coming against Vernon. Norwood spent five years as an assistant in Lipan before spending the next four years at Llano, three years as head coach. He said his last two years in Llano were rough after graduation of nine seniors his first year and a 26-7 squad.

Nocona came into game two of its Class 2A Division I bi-district series with Archer City looking to rebound from a 17-0 loss in game one.
The Lady Indians took a quick lead but the Lady ‘Cats had too much in the tank and knocked Nocona out of the playoffs courtesy of a 13-3, five-inning victory winning the best of three series, 2-0.
Kylea Wallace reached base on a second baseman’s error. With one out, M’leigha Franklin took a pitch over the wall in left field for a home run, igniting the Lady Indian crowd with a 2-0 lead.
Archer City prevented further damage by retiring the next two hitters. The Lady ‘Cats struck in the bottom of the inning for seven runs.

Culture. It’s a beautiful word.
Bowie Softball Coach Griffin Fields has been trying to install a positive, winning culture since taking over the job. For the first time since 2019, the Lady Rabbits qualified for the postseason, facing District 8 top seed Early in the bi-district round.
After beating the Lady ‘Horns 9-8 in game one of the best-of-three series April 23, Early came back and evened the series less than 24 hours later, 15-0. The Lady Rabbits used the aforementioned culture and got out to a quick lead in game three.
Bowie was then forced to come from behind for the second straight night. Kinley Baker, who had the game winning RBI in game one, came through again in game three and broke a 6-all tie with a single to lift the Lady Rabbits to a 9-6 victory in the finale.
