Feb. 16, 2010

Junior

Fishers, Ind.

Melloh was also named the Western Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week for Feb. 8-14. It was the first WAC honor of the season and ninth overall for Melloh.

Melloh, a junior from Fishers, Ind., picked up three complete-game wins during opening weekend. She posted two shutouts, including her first career no-hitter. She had 0.35 ERA and allowed just one run in 20.0 innings of work. She also had 30 strikeouts on the week. Melloh now has 934 strikeouts in her Bulldog career, good for second place in the Fresno State record books, 75 wins (ninth), 84 complete games (ninth), 39 shutouts (ninth) and 699.9 innings pitched (10th).

Melloh became the 17th Bulldog in school history to throw a no-hitter. It was the 63rd total no-hitter at Fresno State. Melloh and fellow pitcher Mackenzie Oakes became the first Fresno State pitchers since Kristen Hunter and Amanda Scott in 2000, to have two different pitchers threw no-hitters in the same season. It was also the first time since Carie Dever and Marcie Green in 1990 that two different pitchers threw no-hitters in back-to-back days.

The No. 25 ranked Bulldogs are 6-0 on the year, their best start since 2001.
