Tigers baseball keeps rolling at the annual baseball classic for HBCU in Vero Beach, Florida.
Grambling State's offense stayed hot on Sunday afternoon, as the Tigers outlasted Prairie View A&M 13-11 on the final day of the 2025 Andre Dawson Classic at the Jackie Robinson Training Complex. GSU racked up 11 hits in total.
Trey Bridges led the way, going 3-for-5 with three RBI. Martavius Thomas and Cameron Hill also had multi-hit outings with Thomas going 2-for-4 with three runs scored and Hill going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Hard-throwing lefty Trenton Shaw grabbed his first win of the season after delivering eight strikeouts in 5.0 innings. He surrendered four runs on six hits and two walks. Javier Martinez picked up his second save in as many days, going 1.1 innings and allowing a pair of runs on a one hit and two walks. Nick Robinson, Derrell Fletcher and Thomas Leiden also saw action out of the bullpen. Grambling State hopped on top of the Panthers early, quickly grabbing a 7-0 lead after two innings. With the Tigers on top 4-0, Aries Gardner ripped a bases clearing 3-RBI triple. Prairie View slowly worked its way back into the game, cutting GSU's lead to 8-6 in the sixth inning. A five run seventh gave the Tigers a 13-6 cushion. Grambling State took advantage of costly errors and clutch hitting to grow its lead. PVAMU didn't go away quietly, however. Trailing 13-9 with no out in the ninth, an inside-the-park home run by Jayden Williams cut GSU's lead to two runs. Martinez settled down however, getting the next three outs and ending the game with a 6-4-3 double play.Grambling State prepares for a Tuesday afternoon contest at No. 5 Arkansas. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. CST at Baum-Walker Stadium and will be broadcast on SEC Network+.— Prairie View A&M revealed the replacement opponent for its 2025 Homecoming game this Fall. Anton Goff, the Panthers' athletic director, announced that the Lincoln Oaklanders had accepted the invitation to step in the void left by North American University's cancellation as the Homecoming opponent. After discontinuing the NAU football program, PVAMU needed to find a new opponent to fill the Homecoming void. Goff informed HBCU Legends last week that his department was actively working and would soon announce the new competitor. The Lincoln Oaklanders versus PVAMU HBCU football contest will be on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, at Panther Stadium in Prairie View, Texas. Coach Tremaine Jackson and his Panthers team will kick off the season against Texas Southern on Saturday, Aug. 30, at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas.Prairie A&M Panthers' newly appointed head coach Tremaine Jackson and athletic director Anton Goff will need to find a new opponent for Homecoming in the 2025 season. HBCU Legends reached out to AD Goff for a comment.In a decision that comes with great difficulty and careful deliberation, North American University announced the discontinuation of its football program. This move, supported by the Board of Trustees, reflects a strategic shift in the university's investment toward areas that uphold and enhance NAU's core mission. "This was a difficult decision, backed by the Board of Trustees, that aims to direct investment to the things that make North American University exceptional," said NAU Athletic Director and Head Football Coach . "Our goal is to still compete in the eight NAIA and USCAA sports that will remain an integral part of the NAU experience." Texas Southern University hosted NAU as a Homecoming opponent in the 2021 season. The Tigers won the contest 69-0. Filling the void will be a challenge for the Panthers' athletic department, or they could change another opponent to the Homecoming date.Sep 6 : UTRGV at Blackshear Field, Prairie View, TexasNov 15 at 2:00 PM: Arkansas-Pine Bluff at Blackshear Field, Prairie View, TexasSep 13 : Rice at Rice Stadium, Houston, TexasOct 18 : Southern at A.W.
