2023 Cactus Jack HBCU Baseball Classic

[Fiyah]

The Cactus Jack HBCU Classic is set to make its debut at Minute Maid Park Friday, February 17 through Sunday, February 19, 2023. The Classic will be the first of its kind held in Houston since the Astros hosted the MLB Urban Invitational that exclusively featured Historically Black Colleges and Universities back in 2013.

The inaugural nine-game tournament will feature Houston-area Prairie View A&M and Texas Southern University, and four schools from neighboring Louisiana and Mississippi – Southern University, Grambling State, Jackson State, and Mississippi Valley State University.

2,500 fans each day will receive an exclusive Travis Scott Bobblehead presented by Cactus Jack Foundation.

Can't wait to see how Coach Barney can continue on what the previous coach built and get us closer to actually making the SWAC tournament
