Baseball Akadema/NEC Rookie of the Week


Nick Leiningen, Sacred Heart







Leiningen picks up the Akadema NEC Rookie of the Week award for a third time this season. The freshman lefty went the distance in the Pioneers’ 8-2 win over Wagner, which was the second of four victories that SHU posted over the weekend. Helping Sacred Heart solidify the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Northeast Conference Baseball Tournament, Leiningen pitched 7.0 innings of two-run ball and notched his sixth complete game of the season. The 6-foot-1 southpaw surrendered eight hits and walked only one. He registered a season-high seven strikeouts while lowering his ERA to 4.02.
