The Little Rock Trojans are on the cusp of a historic milestone, poised to secure their first ever spot in the College World Series. After dominating the Hattiesburg Regional, the team now faces Troy in a best‑of‑three Super Regional, with Game 1 set for 4 p.m. Friday and Game 2 at 2 p.m. Saturday in Troy, Alabama.
Coach Chris Curry has repeatedly emphasized that the Trojans are not a fleeting surprise but a program built on ambition and disciplined play. His words underscore a culture that expects success, a narrative that has been reinforced by the team’s five‑game winning streak after an early season loss.
The Road Ahead
Both Smith and Andrews bring a unique backstory to the roster. Smith, who redshirted at Arkansas before transferring to Harding, now channels that experience into a pivotal role for Little Rock. Andrews, an OVC Tournament MVP and recent All‑Hattiesburg Regional selection, redshirted with the Razorbacks and learned directly from the program’s elite pitching staff.
Their journeys have been shaped by mentors such as pitching coach Evan Lee, a former Razorbacks standout who transitioned from a strong playing career to guiding the next generation of arms. Together, the coaching staff and players share a common vision: to bring the Trojans to Omaha and etch their names into the school’s baseball lore.
