Elyria’s Tess Sito continues to impress at Cleveland State, being selected the Horizon League Pitcher of the Week. The accolade is the third pitching honor for Sito in 2011.

Cleveland State split four games last week, dropping a doubleheader at Niagara before sweeping Loyola in League play. Sito appeared on the rubber in all four contests for the Vikings.

Sito was nearly perfect over the weekend, striking out 23 in 17 innings of work, walking just two batters as she carried Cleveland State to two 1-0 victories against Loyola. In the opening win of the doubleheader, Sito struck out a career-high 15 Ramblers, giving up just two hits. In the nightcap, the sophomore came back with eight more strikeouts, carrying a no-hitter into the 10th inning of the eventual victory. On the week, Sito went 2-1 with a 1.21 ERA, totaling 39 strikeouts in 29 innings.
