Bradley Howard made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Speedway is 2-1 when Howard allows two or fewer hits, but 4-12-1 otherwise. Howard was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with five RBI and one double.
