At the beginning of the year, part of the reason that we felt so confident in this team was the fact that both Brian Howard and Mitchell Traver had made the decision to come back for their senior seasons. Opportunities like this are the reason that they decided to come back. They want the chance to be dominant in the postseason and lead the Frogs back to Omaha with a vengeance.
Brian Howard did just that last night with a four hit, complete game shutout of Kansas in which he threw 117 pitches and recorded a career high 12 strikeouts.
