NORMAL, Ala. (AP) — Frank Warren ran for 136 yards and a touchdown and Kenneth Batiste returned a kickoff 87 yards for a score as Grambling State remained undefeated in SWAC conference play with a 25-22 win over Alabama A&M on Saturday night.

The Tigers (3-1, 3-0) led 25-14 in the fourth quarter after a 25-yard field goal from Zoltan Riazzo, but a 29-yard touchdown pass from Deaunte Mason to G’Alonzo Milton and a two-point conversion pulled the Bulldogs to within three points, 25-22.

Alabama A&M (2-3, 1-2) got the ball back at its own 15-yard line with 1:36 remaining in the game, but the Bulldogs failed to score.

Batiste’s kickoff return for a touchdown gave Grambling State a 19-13 lead in the second quarter.

Warren also caught two passes for 75 yards, including a 66-yard catch that led to the Tigers’ first touchdown of the game.
