Bowie’s Brandon Workman made his first appearance in a Major League Baseball game since the 2014 season on Thursday.
Workman pitched three innings of relief; but, the Boston Red Sox still came up short against the Baltimore Orioles – losing 8-3 at Fenway Park.
Like he has all season, Workman pitched decently. He allowed six base runners on five hits and one walk; but, he also struck out two and didn’t allow a run.
“It seems like it’s been 10 years,” Workman told MassLive.com reporter Jen McCaffrey after the game. “It was a long time, and it was nice to get back out there. I had to work really hard … and it’s taken a lot longer than I would have hoped.”
This marked Workman’s first appearance in a major league game since Sept. 18, 2014. Brandon underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2015, and spent the 2016 campaign in rehabilitation – which included a stint with Single-A Lowell (Mass.).
Workman was promoted to the Red Sox roster on Monday night after pitcher Steven Wright went on the disabled list with a sprained knee.

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.
