CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -- JoJo Howie reluctantly handed the baseball to VCU coach Shawn Stiffler, then started making the slow walk toward the Rams' dugout.
If his college career was over, what a ride it was.
Here's what Howie has done in four years of college, the first two at Everett Community College in Seattle before transferring to VCU: Go 29-13 with a 2.62 ERA, striking out 272 in 354 1-3 innings. And the crafty left-hander gave Miami fits in Game 1 of their super regional series on Friday - only the biggest game in VCU baseball history - with Howie taking a tough 3-2 loss despite not allowing any earned runs.
