Leonello saw the field during each of Long Island’s three wins over Maryland-Eastern Shore and started two of them in the outfield. The rookie Blackbird batted .714 (5-for-7) with six runs scored during the three-game sweep. He started the series opener, reaching base three times (hit, walk, HBP) and coming around to score three runs in LIU’s 13-3 win. He pinch ran in the second game before earning another start in the finale. Helping LIU complete the sweep with a 12-7 victory, the left-handed hitting Leonello went 4-for-4 at the plate with three runs scored, a RBI, and a stolen base. The freshman outfielder is hitting .389 and has scored eight runs over his first six collegiate games.
