The Atlanta Braves are set to set the HBCU Baseball Classic between Grambling State and Florida A&M on the first two days of March. The series is also known as the Garr-Lucas, named after Ralph Garr and Bill Lucas, alumni of Grambling State and Florida A&M, respectively, and Hall of Fame players with the Braves. The game takes place on Coolray Field, the home of the Braves’ Triple-A Affiliate, the Gwinnett Stripers.
The Garr-Lucas classic began three years ago in 2021. Since it’s inception, Florida A&M has dominated Grambling State. They swept the three-game series in 2021, 2022, and won two of three most recently in 2023.
