Leiningen continued to lock up opposing hitters last week, lowering his batting average against mark to a league-best .174. The freshman lefty logged his second consecutive complete-game victory in Northeast Conference play, hurling 7.0 shutout innings against first-place Quinnipiac. Leiningen, who gave up three hits and walked two, held the Bobcats hitless over the game’s final 3.0 frames. With Leiningen and Quinnipaic’s Kyle Birdsall trading zeros for the first six innings, Sacred Heart broke through for the game’s lone run in the top of the seventh. Staked to the slim advantage heading into the bottom half of the inning, Leiningen retired the side in order (Quinnipiac’s No. 4, 5, 6 hitters) to seal Sacred Heart’s doubleheader sweep on Saturday. Twirling a three-hitter for the second straight start, Leiningen held the Bobcats to a .136 batting average and recorded a 0.71 WHIP (walks-hit per innings pitched) in the 1-0 win.
