Cahn Shows Midseason Form for Mustangs in Season-Opening Weekend

Anna Cahn showed her dominant 2009 form in Cal Poly’s season-opening 2010 weekend, garnering Big West Pitcher of the Week honors.

The junior opened the weekend with an extra-inning masterpiece against Portland State. Cahn went all eight innings against the Vikings, giving up only three hits, no runs, two walks and striking out five in the 1-0 Cal Poly win.

The next day, she victimized PSU once again, shutting them out in the Mustangs’ 6-0 victory. This time around she allowed four hits, no runs, no walks and struck out three in the complete game victory.

In all, Cahn was 2-0 with a 0.47 ERA in 15.0 innings, which included a one-batter relief effort. She faced just 11 batters over the minimum in her two starts and had a 4-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
