GRAMBLING, La. (Interstat) — Cameron Hill hit two home runs and drove in eight runs to lead Grambling to a 19-9 victory over Florida A&M on Sunday, May 3, 2026, at Memorial Gym in Grambling, Louisiana. The Tigers swept the three-game Southwestern Athletic Conference series after winning a doubleheader Saturday.

Hill, the left fielder, finished 3 for 5 with two home runs and eight RBIs, headlining a 17-hit Grambling attack. Trey Bridges went 3 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs, and Charles Ashe III added three hits and two RBIs. Aidan Lopez drove in three runs despite only one hit, and the Tigers took advantage of five Florida A&M errors.

The Rattlers jumped out to a 9-3 lead through three innings, but Grambling chipped away and then erupted for six runs in the sixth inning to take control.

Florida A&M struck first in the top of the first when Will Brown singled home a run. The Rattlers added eight more in the third inning, keyed by Jay Campbell’s two-run homer, Jackson McKenzie’s solo shot and Colton Ryals’ three-run homer. Ryals finished 2 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs, and Campbell also had two hits and two RBIs. The outburst gave Florida A&M a 9-3 lead after three.

Grambling answered in the fourth with two runs on a sacrifice fly and a fielder’s choice, cutting the deficit to 9-5. The Tigers then closed to 9-8 in the fifth on Bridges’ solo homer and Hill’s two-run shot.

The bottom of the sixth proved decisive. With the score still 9-8, Grambling loaded the bases and Bridges drew a walk to tie the game. Lopez was hit by a pitch to force in another run, giving Grambling its first lead at 10-9. Hill then launched a grand slam to left field, extending the lead to 14-9. The grand slam was unearned after a Florida A&M error earlier in the inning.

Grambling kept rolling in the seventh. The Tigers scored five more runs on two walks, two hit batsmen, a single by Hill, a walk to Ashe III and a bases-loaded walk to Martavius Thomas. The inning included four unearned runs, pushing the margin to 19-9.

Florida A&M’s pitching struggled to contain Grambling’s lineup. Jesus Campa started for the Rattlers and allowed three earned runs in 3 1/3 innings with two strikeouts. Clark Lincoln, Ryan Young, JD Garner, Karson Lindsey and Roan Tarbert combined for 3 2/3 innings, surrendering 11 runs, though only three were earned.

Rafael Capistran earned the win for Grambling, pitching three innings of relief, allowing one hit and no earned runs while striking out one. Nick Robinson and Jacobie Smith each threw scoreless relief.

Florida A&M fell to 21-22 overall, 16-11 in the SWAC. Grambling improved to 20-24, 15-9 in conference play.

The Rattlers had 10 hits in the loss, including a triple by Jordan Brown, who scored on a wild pitch in the third.

Grambling’s next series is at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, starting Friday, May 8. Florida A&M travels to Alabama A&M for a three-game set beginning the same day.
