In a season that has already rewritten the record books for Troy University’s baseball program, the Trojans are set to add another chapter by meeting the Florida Gators in a fall exhibition game at Pensacola’s Blue Wahoos Stadium. The matchup, scheduled for October 24, marks the first time the two programs will square off outside the traditional spring schedule, underscoring the growing prestige of the Gulf Coast venue.
A milestone season revisited
Troy’s 2026 campaign culminated in a historic run that saw the team capture both a Regional and a Sub‑Regional Championship, propelling them to the Division I College World Series for the first time in school history. Their victory over Florida in back‑to‑back contests earlier this year cemented the Trojans’ rise from underdog to national contender.
The fall series will also showcase other regional showdowns, including Alabama versus Georgia Tech on October 17 and Florida State taking on Auburn on October 10. Each contest is designed to give fans a preview of the upcoming season while celebrating the vibrant college baseball landscape of the Southeast.
Pensacola Blue Wahoos president Jonathan Griffith emphasized the overwhelming enthusiasm the community has shown for fall college baseball at the waterfront ballpark. Since hosting fall games in 2024, the stadium has become a focal point for fans eager to experience the unique atmosphere that blends coastal scenery with high‑stakes competition.
Tickets for the Troy versus Florida game will go on sale beginning August 25 at bluewahoos.com, offering supporters the chance to secure seats for what promises to be a memorable evening of baseball under the Florida sky.
