She tossed a one-hit shutout as the Crusaders edged Messiah 1-0 in the opener of their doubleheader on Thursday, as she struck out three and walked two and retired the final 13 batters she faced after allowing just a triple in the first inning.

Earlier in the week, Nastelli struck out a season-high 10 batters over 8 1/3 innings and allowed no earned runs in what eventually was a 5-4 Susquehanna victory in 10 innings.
