SRP Park, in partnership with Murphy Auto Group and Paine College (National Christian Collegiate Athletic Conference), is excited to host the 3^rd Annual HBCU Baseball Classic presented by Murphy Auto Group on Saturday, March 2^nd.

This year there will be an added game to the schedule as SRP Park will host a triple header. The first game will feature two local high school teams as Cross Creek will play Westside at 12:00PM EST. Next up, starting at 4:00PM EST, Paine College will host a doubleheader against Lincoln University.

“We are extremely excited to partner with Mike and his team at Murphy Auto Group and host the 3^rd Annual HBCU Classic at SRP Park. This annual event has grown each year, and we know with the support of the community, it will continue to grow stronger,” said Brandon Greene, GreenJackets General Manager. “Please join us to support Paine University Baseball on March 2^nd at SRP Park.”

"Baseball played a vital role in lifting my family from poverty. Let's rally behind HBCU baseball, specifically supporting Paine College, said Mike Murphy, Murphy Auto Group Owner. The decline in African American players, dropping from 18% to 6%, calls for our attention. Join us in reversing this trend by coming out and supporting Paine College's baseball program.
