The Troy Trojans have made history by advancing to the Division I College World Series for the first time after defeating Little Rock 7-2 in the NCAA Super Regional. The Trojans, who have a season record of 38-30, will face West Virginia in their first-round game in Omaha next weekend. In the decisive game, Troy established a strong lead early, scoring two runs in the first inning and adding single runs in the second and third innings to go up 4-0. Although Little Rock managed to reduce the deficit to 5-2 after the eighth inning, Troy secured their victory with two additional runs in the ninth. Blake Cavill and Drew Nelson were standout performers, each driving in two runs, while starting pitcher Tommy Egan delivered an impressive performance, allowing only two runs over 7.1 innings. This achievement comes after Troy's successful run in the NCAA Gainesville Regional, where they won as a 3-seed, and it marks a significant milestone for the program, which had not previously advanced to a Super Regional before this year.
