Montgomery, Alabama-For the second consecutive year, the Edward Waters baseball program will compete for a national championship at the 2022 Tyson Foods Black College World Series.
The double-elimination tournament will be held from May 11th-May 15th at Riverwalk Stadium, home of the Montgomery Biscuits, the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays.
The tournament will feature eight of the best NAIA and NCAA Division II HBCU baseball programs in the country. Joining the Purple & Orange in Montgomery in the NAIA bracket are rival Florida Memorial, Rust College, and former A. I. I. and GCAC rival Talladega College. Representing the NCAA Division II bracket are four teams from the SIAC, including Albany State, Kentucky State, Miles, and defending HBCU National Champion, Bluefield State.
