Salina's complete game gem highlighted the game 1 victory for Bona Baseball at Presbyterian Feb. 29.
The right-handed sophomore was nearly untouchable, allowing just two hits while walking three and striking out seven in a 2-0 shutout as the Bonnies took the opener.
The Blue Hose entered the day hitting .308 as a team and scoring nearly nine runs per game in their first eight contests, but Salina surrendered only a first inning single up the middle and a sixth inning poke through the right side. Presbyterian never sent a runner past first base.
Fittingly, Salina struck out his seventh batter of the day for the final out to put the exclamation mark on the win.
He needed 87 pitches, throwing 57 for strikes, and became the first Bonnies pitcher to toss a complete game shutout since
Donovan Moffat also did so in the second game of a doubleheader at La Salle in a 2-0 win on April 24, 2021 (7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K).
