Sacred Heart University Baseball 2011 Season in Review
The website has been lacking lately due to a crazy busy in-season schedule this year.
For those of you whom have not been following, Sacred Heart’s Baseball Program won the Northeast Conference in dramatic fashion with 3 complete game wins from underclassman pitchers.
From there SHU earned a bid to the NCAA Division I National Tournament held at Clemson University.
Although the team did not do as well as they had hoped, there were many highlights along the way. Most notably breaking the school record of wins in a season for the second straight year now paced at 34.
Individual Awards were as follows:
Nick Leiningen
- Rookie of the Year and Second-Team All-NEC Pitcher award
- He was second in the NEC this season with six complete games.
