It didn’t take Shyanne Saladino long to make an impact on the Missouri Western softball team. The junior transfer has been named the MIAA/AstroTurf Pitcher of the Week after her first action in a Griffon uniform.

Saladino went 2-0 over the weekend in Arkansas without giving up a run. The Davenport, Iowa native went the distance in both of her starts, pitching 12 innings, while allowing 10 hits and striking out five batters. She pitched seven innings in the Griffons 2-0 win over Henderson State on Saturday and needed only five on Sunday as MWSU scored 14 in a win over Arkansas-Monticello.

Saladino was a first team NFCA All-American and second team NJCAA All-American at Kirkwood Community College, where she went 25-2 with a 1.28 ERA.
