Co-Lin head coach Keith Case was happy to see Perrett and Varnespitch well. “Boycee and Tyler did a good job today. Tyler is stillrehabbing,” from arm surgery.

Case said playing games during Spring Break was important forhis team. “Our hitters need to see live pitching. We won two gamestoday but it wasn’t sharp. We made mistakes in the field andrunning the bases.

“We must be more focused for LSU-Eunice. We’ll probably seetheir No. 1 and No. 2 pitchers.”
