Maine Baseball to Take on Wagner

Orono, ME- The Black Bear baseball team (12-9) is headed to Wagner for a four-game series this weekend. Maine lost to the Sacred Heart pioneers this past Saturday before winning on Sunday.

Joe Litterio, the Wagner baseball coach can’t help but look into his team’s competition this weekend. Maine is currently being led by sophomore Ian Leisenheimer (Middle Village, NY) who hits .410 with 16 runs scored and a 19 RBI. Leisenheimer has had two triples and two homeruns. Billy Cather (Worcester, Mass) has a .397 batting average with a team high of 19 runs scored and 15 RBI. Cather excels at stealing bases with a total of eight so far this season.

These two top players for the Black Bears are feared by Wagner. Their coach Litterio must construct a tough defense against Maine’s aggressive offense.
