Vanderbilt’s Jack Leiter follows up no-hitter with 7 more hitless innings against Mizzou
Vanderbilt standout Jack Leiter continues to be unhittable.
After his 16-strikeout, 9-inning no-hitter last weekend, the Commodore hurler followed it up Friday night with 7 more hitless innings in VU’s 11-3 win over Mizzou. He was at 101 pitches when he exited the game with Vanderbilt leading 11-0.
Leiter still found issue with his outing:
Jack Leiter said his velocity wasn’t as good in his 7-inning no-hitter as his 9-inning no-hitter.
Well, no one’s perfect.

Good luck to all SEC teams facing Kumar and Rocker. The only advantage you have is that Vandy plays a tough SEC schedule away from home.
you might want to check those names big guy
…yeah and this series underscores the ineptness of the baseball team in Columbia. Time to make some changes at the Zou.
