Brady Leichtman has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of March 30th. This is his first career Pioneer honor.

The freshman hurler Leichtman had an otherworldly outing in his Empire 8 debut this past weekend, completely shutting down an Elmira offense that had been hot, as he helped the Pioneers secure a Sunday sweep by a 12-1 final. Leichtman went the full seven innings in his start, securing the win thanks to his nearly untouchable nature on the mound. The Bay Shore native allowed just a single hit and a single run over the seven-inning stretch, also striking out 10 batters in a superb showing of pitching dominance. 

Leichtman and the baseball team will be back in action this Wednesday when they head to Russell Sage for a standalone matchup against the Gators. That contest begins at 3:00 PM. The Pioneers will also head to Alfred University this weekend for a three-game set against the Saxons up at the new Saxon Hill Athletic Complex.
