Alabama A&M University head baseball coach Elliott Jones announced on Friday the 2024 baseball schedule, which features 23 home games at the Bulldog Baseball Field, including a non-conference series against Butler and a single game against UT-Martin.
"We're excited about the 2024 competitive schedule," Jones said. "We will be facing a lot of good programs and players, and this will allow for us to raise our game and be up for the challenge."
The Bulldogs, who went 14-34 overall and 5-24 in Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), will visit one of the top baseball programs of the country in Tennessee on April 9.
"It is always great having an SEC program on the schedule to give our student-athletes a chance to compete on a national level and stage," Jones said. "Tennessee has been a Top 25 program every year and Coach (Tony) Vitello and his staff do a great job. We will be ready for this opportunity."
Alabama A&M opens the season against a familiar foe and conference member Arkansas-Pine Bluff, for a three-game series Feb. 16-18 in Pine Bluff, Ark.
