BASEBALL: Paw Sox Workman earns second save of season
Brandon Workman continues to have a strong season – mainly for the Pawtucket Paw Sox – the Triple-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox.
Workman earned his second save of the 2017 campaign as Pawtucket (R.I.) defeated Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5-2 on July 1 at McCoy Stadium.
Workman allowed one hit in yet another scoreless inning. He struck out two and lowered his earned-run average to 1.78.
Overall, 11 of the pitches Workman threw were for strikes.
The now 28-year-old has pitched in 17 games and 30-2/3rds innings at both the major and minor league level combined.
He has allowed 15 hits on six runs (five earned) while recording 29 strikeouts and just 10 walks for the Paw Sox, with opponents batting 1.70 against him – down from .302 while he played for three minor league clubs during rehabilitation in 2016.
The 2007 Bowie High School graduate is best known for pitching a scoreless eighth inning during Game Six of the World Series – as Boston defeated the St. Louis Cardinals for the crown.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
