About the HBCU Softball Classic

The HBCU Softball Classic serves as a premier showcase for softball programs at historically black colleges and universities, providing a platform for student-athletes to compete at the highest level while celebrating HBCU athletics. The nightcap designation indicates this game was the featured second contest of a doubleheader or evening slate of games.

Conference matchups like this carry additional significance as teams compete for postseason positioning and conference supremacy.

The Hornets' comprehensive victory over the Lady Braves adds another chapter to the ongoing SWAC softball rivalry and provides momentum as both programs continue their seasons. The 7-0 scoreline reflects Alabama State's ability to execute on both sides of the ball, combining shutdown pitching with timely hitting to secure the win.
