MILLINGTON, Tenn. – University of Chicago's baseball team blanked Olivet College 9-0 on Monday afternoon at the USA Baseball Complex.

The Maroons led 6-0 after four innings and cruised to their third victory of 2023 behind a strong pitching performance from Hayden Leiderman. The sophomore righty tossed 7.0 scoreless innings and struck out five batters while scattering four hits. 

Matthew Guyton then finished off the shutout in relief with 2.0 effective innings and three strikeouts. Brady Miller led the offensive effort with a 2-for-3 day and two RBI.
