Troy University’s baseball team has secured a spot in the NCAA Gainesville Regional, marking its first appearance in the tournament since 2023. The achievement reflects a season of steady improvement and a clutch performance in the conference tournament that left the Trojans with a 48‑15 record.
Regional Landscape
Seeded third in a four‑team bracket, the Trojans will meet the second‑seeded Miami Hurricanes, a program renowned for its consistent postseason appearances and a deep history in the College World Series. Miami arrives with a 45‑12 record and a reputation for strong hitting and disciplined pitching.
When and Where
The showdown is scheduled for Friday, May 29, at 5 p.m. local time, with a 6 p.m. Eastern broadcast on the ACC Network. Viewers can also stream the game through the Fubo platform, which will carry the live feed for the entire regional.
Pitching Preview
Both clubs will rely on veteran left‑handers to anchor their rotations. Troy will turn to senior pitcher Benjamin Stubbs, whose season statistics include a 2.84 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 132 innings. Miami counters with senior lefty Rob Evans, who has posted a 3.12 ERA and 108 strikeouts over 124 innings this year.
The winner will advance to the next stage of the tournament, where a potential clash with the top‑seeded Florida Gators looms on the horizon. A victory would not only extend Troy’s season but also cement its status as a rising force in collegiate baseball.
