Stacy Piagno (born March 7, 1991) is a member of the United States women's national baseball team which won a gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Games.[1][2]
Playing career
Piagno played college softball at the University of Tampa. [3] On July 23, 2015, Piagno threw the first no-hitter in women’s baseball at the Pan Am Games, in Toronto, [4] defeating the Puerto Rican team.[3] In June, 2016, she was signed by the professional Sonoma Stompers, one of the teams in the Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs. This made her, and fellow Stompers teammate outfielder-pitcher Kelsie Whitmore the first women to play professional baseball on a team with more than one woman since the 1950s.[3]
