Troy University’s baseball squad delivered a dramatic 12‑8 victory over Ole Miss on Monday, forcing the Rebels into an elimination game and keeping the Trojans alive in the 2026 College World Series.
Next Opponent and Schedule
The Trojans will meet the loser of the West Virginia versus North Carolina matchup on Tuesday, June 16, at 1 p.m. Central Time, at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN, with the championship’s second game slated for Sunday on ABC.
Troy’s path to this point has been marked by resilience. After an opening loss in the College World Series, the team rebounded with wins over Florida and Miami in the Gainesville Regional, then swept Little Rock at home to secure a super‑regional berth.
Tournament Landscape
West Virginia advanced by sweeping Cal Poly and now awaits the outcome of the Tar Heels’ contest. A win for Troy would set up a potential showdown with the University of North Carolina, adding another layer of intrigue to the tournament.
The stakes are high; a victory would keep Troy’s championship hopes alive, while a loss would send them to the consolation bracket. The team’s recent performances have sparked optimism among fans and analysts alike.
