Mark Leiter, Jr. was NJIT's stopper for a second straight weekend, earning a win after the team had lost its previous two, this time with a 7-inning effort in a comeback win over Sacred Heart.
Leiter pitched the first seven innings, allowing eight hits and three runs (two earned), with five strikeouts and three walks.
Sunday's win marked the second time in as many weekends that Leiter served as a stopper. Last weekend, NJIT lost two games to Presbyterian before Leiter answered with a 1-0 win in the final game of the series. This weekend, the Highlanders lost their first two games, to Fordham and Saint Peter's, repectively, before another strong start by Leiter righted the ship.
