PRAIRIE VIEW - The Prairie View A&M baseball coach
Auntwan Riggins has been selected as the Black College Nines Coach of the Year after posting a 30 game win record, under his tutelage.
Roberto Maldonado was named to the Black College Nines' Elite Second team for the 2022 season.
Black College Nines was founded in 2009, as a site dedicated to telling the historical story of HBCU baseball. Soon after going online with
blackcollegenines.com, an opportunity arose and with overwhelming encouragement, we expanded our coverage. While still honoring HBCU baseball's past, Black College Nines became the "go to" site for coverage of HBCU baseball's current happenings.
Black College Nines proudly serves the college baseball community as the only website dedicated solely to black college baseball on all levels. From the season-long polls we run, to the student-athlete superlatives recognized at season's end, school administrators, coaches and even past and present HBCU ballplayers express their gratitude for the importance of what we do.
The Panthers finished the season after falling to Florida A&M during postseason play of the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament. Prairie View came out of the loser bracket after defeating Jackson State 6-3.
PVAMU completed the season with a 30-27 record one of the best seasons under coach Riggins. The last time the Panthers posted a 30 win season was the 2006-07 season under the reign of Michael Robertson with a 34-25 record.
