A deep Last Dance run in July put Howell's promising pitching on display. Most of that pitching is back and Howell is ready to unleash it on the Shore.

Kingsway rallied for four runs in the last two innings to deny Howell's Blue and Grey a trip to the Region quarterfinals.

An RBI single by Nick Guerrino in the bottom of the sixth sent Howell to a 3-1 win over Neptune to reach the South Jersey Round of 16 in the Last Dance World Series.

After searching for the right mix of pitching and offense, Howell is hoping to showcase one its most balanced teams in the last decade.
