Leonhard Tosses A No Hitter As Eagles Sweep Stars
University of Southern Indiana Softball freshman pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) tossed USI’s first no-hitter in four years as the No. 14 Screaming Eagles swept a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader from host University of Illinois Springfield Sunday afternoon.
USI (29-7, 8-4 GLVC) won game one, 4-2, before blanking Illinois Springfield, 2-0, in the night cap.
The no-hitter was the first since former USI standout and current volunteer pitching coach Brooke Harmening held the University of Wisconsin-Parkside hitless March 23, 2013.
The Eagles return to action Tuesday at 2 p.m. when they host GLVC rival Bellarmine University in a doubleheader at the USI Softball Field.
