Illinois State's Stalwart Ace with Clutch Saves and Shutdown Stints
Illinois State junior Hannah Meshnick dominates in the circle with a stellar 1.25 ERA early in the 2026 season, leading her staff with 10 strikeouts in 33.2 IP while earning MVC Pitcher of the Week for two scoreless complete games at Puerto Vallarta; her career highs include 7 wins, 8 CGs, and 3 saves in 99 appearances (60 starts), plus a recent game-saving save (her 6th) vs. UNI on 5/6/2026. A passionate Hortonville, WI product with Preseason All-MVC nod, she's a reliable workhorse—resilient, intense, and clutch—making her a prime fit for teams needing veteran mound stability.
