SAN MARCOS, Texas — As far as coach Tony Robichaux is concerned, Friday’s start against Texas State served a dual purpose for Louisiana-Lafayette freshman right-hander Nick Lee.
First and foremost, Robichaux wanted Lee on the mound because he’s proven to be the team’s top option behind Gunner Leger. Yet again, Lee showed why Robichaux has put so much faith in him with seven strong innings in Friday’s 4-2 win against the tournament host.
The other part of it looked toward the future, though.
“I’m actually glad that Nick drew (Texas State), being a true freshman, to give him a chance to handle somebody else’s crowd,” Robichaux said.
