Howard went the distance in a 5-1 CCSF victory in Lancaster on Feb. 24. He scattered 7 hits over the 9 frames, striking out 5 and walking just 2. He was consistently in the zone, throwing 73 of his 99 pitches for strikes.

With the win, Howard improved his overall record to 2-1 on the season.

Jordan Renteria led CCSF offensively in the contest, going 3 for 5 with 1 RBI and a run scored. Mark Zhu and George Thompson also drove in runs for the Rams.
