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.
