NOTES- Alcorn opened the season at the MLB Urban Invitational for the fourth year in a row. The Braves went 1-2 after going 2-1 on opening weekend the previous two years, playing non-conference games against SWAC West Division opponents.
- Senior Brandon Barna led the Braves at the plate with a .400 average and .500 on-base percentage. He was 4-for-10 with two walks, two runs scored and four RBI's last weekend.
- The Braves were predicted to finish third in the SWAC East Division and garnered one first-place vote in the 2019 SWAC Preseason Poll.
- Senior ace Carlos Lopez was named to the Preseason All-Conference Second-Team. Last season, the Barranquitas, Puerto Rico native broke the single-season record for strikeouts with 91. It snapped a 51-year old record of 79 strikeouts by Tommie Dukes in 1967. Lopez has been a workhorse for the Braves in his career. Last year, the right-hander threw a team-high 79.0 innings with a 4-3 record and 4.90 ERA. He struck out 91 batters, while walking just 28. His sophomore year, he fired 54.0 innings with a 4-4 record and a 3.33 ERA.
- Lopez enters the doubleheader ranked fifth all-time in school history in career strikeouts with 178. He needs 42 more to break Steve Easter's mark of 219 set in 2012.
- Alcorn returns four of its eight starting field players from last year. Junior outfielder Jordan McGowan hit for a .299 average, while junior catcher Kyle Jenkins posted a .258 average with four homers and 22 RBI's. Other returning starters include infielders Barna and senior Hunter Wilson. - Barna is 22 hits away from 100 in his career. He'd become the 48th player in school history to reach that milestone.
- The Braves also bring back a big bat in redshirt-senior Kirt Cormier who missed nearly all of last season due to injury. Cormier began 2018 on fire with a .545 average and two homers through three games before getting hurt and missing the rest of the way.
- Senior infielder Brendly Martina ended 2018 on a four-game hitting-streak and 13-game on-base streak which will carry over into this season.
- Alcorn head coach Bretton Richardson enters his fourth season at the helm. He added Alcorn graduate Ryan Fuentes to his staff as assistant coach. Fuentes, a four-year letterwinner, threw six complete games for the Braves in 2014 which ranked fourth in the nation. He sported a 3.69 ERA and a 5-4 record. Fuentes was part of Alcorn's SWAC Championship team in 2011.
- Nicholls was picked to finish ninth in the Southland. Sam Houston State was predicted to win the conference.

2019 Alcorn Baseball Game Notes 11
ABOUT ALCORN STATE UNIVERSITYAlcorn is the oldest public historically black land-grant institu-tion in the United States and the second-oldest state-supported institution of higher learning in Mississippi. Alcorn University was founded in 1871 as a result of the people of Mississippi’s efforts to educate the descendants of formerly enslaved Africans. It was named in honor of the sitting governor of Mississippi, James L. Alcorn.
Alcorn is situated in Claiborne County, seven miles west of Lorman, 80 miles south of the capital city of Jackson, 45 miles south of Vicksburg, and 40 miles north of Natchez. The site was originally occupied by Oakland College, a school established by Presby-terians in 1828; the state of Mississippi purchased the Oakland campus for $40,000 and named it Alcorn University. Hiram R. Revels resigned his seat as a United States senator to become the University’s first president. The state legislature provided $50,000 cash annually for the University’s first 10 years to support its estab-lishment and overall operation. Additionally, 30 acres of land were sold for $188,928; Alcorn received three-fifths of the proceeds, or $113,400. This funding was used for Alcorn’s agricultural and mechanical components.
Initially, the institution’s three major study components were the four-year college track, the two-year college track, and the three-year graded track. Students spent the morning, from seven o’clock until noon, in classes. In the afternoon, they worked in various University shops for eight cents per hour. Room and board, includ-ing laundry, cost about $5 a month.
In 1878, Alcorn University became Alcorn Agricultural and Me-chanical College. The college was exclusively for males at first, but eventually women were admitted. A dormitory for women was built in 1902. Over time, facilities increased from three historic buildings to more than 80 structures. The original purchase of 225 acres of land grew to a campus of more than 1,700 acres.
In 1974, Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College became Alcorn State University. Governor William L. Waller signed House Bill 298, granting this status. Alcorn has thrived by continuously accomplishing dynamic goals and objectives despite limited resource allocations from the state. By the early 1990s, Alcorn’s
physical plant and academic programs evolved into a more diversified Univer-sity. The student population is now representative of more than 65 coun-ties, more than 30 states, and at least 18 foreign countries. The University pro-vides an undergrad-uate education that enables students to successfully pursue work in graduate and professional schools, engage in teaching, and enter other professions.
As Mississippi recognized the importance of educating all citizens, Alcorn has gained status and importance. From the original eight faculty members in 1871, the University has grown to more than 800 faculty and staff. The student body has increased from 179 students to more than 4,000 students with varied ethnic back-grounds. Although early graduates of Alcorn had limited horizons, today’s graduates are successful in their chosen professions, and many are outstanding entrepreneurs. Throughout Alcorn’s history, the leadership and faculty remained committed to enhancing the institution’s image and to attracting young people whose interest is the pursuit and receipt of a quality education. Over the decades, “the college that excelled against great odds” has become one of the leading universities in the nation. Alcorn State University oper-ates divisions with degree programs in more than 50 areas, includ-ing the bachelor’s, master’s, and educational specialist degrees.
The collaborative strength and contributions of Alcorn’s past 18 presidents during its more than 140 years of existence have enabled the institution to excel. On March 4, 2014, the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning voted unanimously to appoint Dr. Alfred Rankins Jr. as Alcorn State Uni-versity’s 19th president. President Rankins' background and vision are strategically aligned with Alcorn’s history and tradition. He is poised to expeditiously move Alcorn State University to the next level of excellence.
