Co-Lin Softball schedules veteran emphasis game

WESSON, Miss. – Co-Lin has a storied tradition of commitment to veterans and their families, and on Saturday, April 21 the Co-Lin softball team and the Veterans Service office plans to continue that commitment with a veteran emphasis softball game.

The Co-Lin softball team hosts Holmes Community College for sophomore day on Saturday with the first pitch slated for 12 p.m. Between the two games of the doubleheader a presentation will take place on the field to honor the Patriot Guard and other veteran groups. There will be a ceremonial first pitch and both teams, Co-Lin and Holmes, will wear camo jerseys for game two to honor our veterans. Copiah-Lincoln Community College invites all veterans and their families to be a part of the activities.

"Co-Lin has been recognized as a Military Friendly School for seven years in a row," said Director of Veteran Services, Dr. Tim Lea.
