Countryside grad is first-team All-American
Countryside grad GiOnna DiSalvatore, a standout for the UCLA softball team, was named a first-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American on Wednesday. A freshman infielder, she is second on the team with a .377 bating average, produced four homers and a team-best 44 RBIs. Earlier this month, DiSalvatore was named to the All-Pac-10 second team and made the conference's All-Freshman team. The Bruins begin play at the Women's College World Series today against Arizona at 9 p.m. The game will be aired live on ESPN (Gametracker will be available online at UCLABruins.com).
