A Historic Ranking
The University of Arkansas‑Little Rock baseball team has risen to No. 19 in the national polls after securing a spot in the NCAA super regionals. It marks the first time the program has been ranked under Coach Chris Curry, who expressed pride in the squad’s progress.
Series Schedule
The Trojans will meet Troy in a best‑of‑three series, with Game 1 scheduled for Friday at 4 p.m. Central on ESPNU and Game 2 set for Saturday at 2 p.m. on ESPN2. The series will be played in Troy, Ala., and the victor will earn a berth in the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., a destination neither school has ever reached.
Looking Ahead
Coach Curry has repeatedly emphasized the team’s focus on incremental improvement, noting that the Trojans have won eight straight games and captured their second consecutive Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship. Their recent sweep of the Hattiesburg (Miss.) Regional, which included victories over Jacksonville State twice and a win over host Southern Mississippi, the No. 9 national seed, underscores their momentum. The team also recorded a historic win over eventual national champion LSU during the postseason.
