Red Sox Workman earns no decision
Former Bowie High School standout Brandon Workman returned to the major leagues on Thursday for the Boston Red Sox.
Workman started against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium, but he didn’t factor in the decision.
Workman left the game with a 4-3 lead, but the Red Sox bullpen couldn’t hold it as New York tripped Boston 5-4.
Overall, Workman threw 96 pitches with 65 of them for strikes in six innings of work.
Brandon allowed three earned runs on five hits. He struck out five and walked just two. And he didn’t surrender any home runs, which had been Workman’s Achilles’ heel all season long.
Workman threw first-pitch strikes to 15 of 25 batters.
The Yankees scored all three of those runs in the third inning, thanks to a two-run double from Derek Jeter and an RBI single from Carlos Beltran.
Brock Holt, like Workman a native of Texas, staked his teammate to the lead with a home run. David Ortiz did everything in his power to help Workman earn the win, jolting a pair of dingers.
It’s unclear when Workman’s next start will take place, but he’s expected to remain with Boston for the remainder of the 2014 season and work as part of an expanded six-man rotation. Read more in the weekend edition of The Bowie News.

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.
