HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The second-to-last home series for Alabama A&M (9-17, 4-7 SWAC) softball will see Bethune-Cookman (11-22, 6-6 SWAC) visit Bulldog Field for the first time in recorded program history as the two meet as Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) foes for the first time from April 8-9. The clubs will play the doubleheader portion beginning at 12 p.m. on Friday, April 8 with the finale coming at 12 p.m. on Saturday, April 9.
A&M is coming off of a series victory at rival Alabama State, notching a 12-7 win in the opener on Friday, April 1 and a commanding 11-1 five inning decision on Saturday, April 2. ASU notched a 9-1 win in between those games.
B-CU heads to Huntsville on a two-game losing streak, most recently falling in a pair of 2-1 decisions to Stetson (4/6) and Florida A&M (4/4). Before that they took the first two from FAMU by 3-0 and 6-1 scores on Sunday, April 3.
