In two relief appearances this week, Melendez, the Atlantic 10 Co-Rookie of the Week, threw six innings of two-hit relief, posting a win and a 1.50 ERA. After pitching a scoreless inning of relief on Tuesday against Iona, he came up big on Sunday in Fordham's 6-5 win over George Mason. He threw five innings of one-hit relief, allowing one run and striking out a season-high five batters to earn his first collegiate win.
