How to fix a Basketball air leak?

I got a new ball sometime back and it was my first ball that i owned myself. The problem is there's a small hole to fill the ball with air rite.. and you get a pin attachment with the ball to pump air using a normal air pump. Well i left the pin stuck inside that hole of the ball when it is deflated and left it like that for 2 or 3months(exams) so now when i fill it with air the air dose not stay inside it slowly comes out through that same hole. Especially when its fully blown up. how do i fix this problem? Or is i just get a new 1?

Update:

Most of you all just wanna say something just to get 2points... Sick of hearing the same answer. Some1 give me a diff solution or dont post at all.

    It sounds to me like you will need to buy a new one. By leaving the inflator needle in place it sounds like you have damaged the valve to the point that it will not close.

    I would buy a new ball and make sure you dont leave the needle in it.

    I think your best option here would be to say goodbye to this basketball of yours and go buy yourself a new one.. =D

    Take a chewed peace of bubble gum out of your mouth and put it on the hole.
