🔼 Not So Fast, My Friend. One thing is for sure. This year’s Trojan baseball squad never says die.

Facing the 16th-ranked team in the country in a huge Sun Belt Series, Troy combined to score 16 runs in the final three innings on Saturday and Sunday to earn two epic comeback victories and take their sixth straight weekend series.

Harrison Bowman and Jakob Wax both had five hits on the weekend, while Steven Meier extended his on-base streak to 30 straight games with a 2-for-4 day at the plate on Sunday.

Troy has now won each of its first six weekend series to start the season. It's the first time the Trojans have won their first six weekend series since 2011.

🔼 Drive To Five. A little trip to Tampa for the Troy track & field squad wrapped up with five top-10 finishes at the USF Alumni Invitational.

Shanyah Washington had a strong weekend with two top-10 finishes to lead the way.

🔼 A Year To Remember. It was a season that no Troy fan will ever forget.

One of the best years in program history came to a close on Friday night, as the Trojans fell to No. 3 Kentucky, 76-57, in the First Round of the Midwest Region.

The game marked Troy's third appearance in the NCAA Tournament in program history and its first since 2017. The Trojans earned the Sun Belt's automatic qualifier after a historic season that saw it win both the regular season and tournament title. The Trojans 23 wins were their most in a season since 2003-04, when they won 24.

Myles Rigsby had a team-high 17 points on 6-11 shooting. Tayton Conerway had his 27th double-digit scoring performance of the season after adding 12 points. Thomas Dowd had a team-high 11 rebounds. 

Today’s Trojan Top Performance, brought to you by Conecuh Sausage, is senior shortstop Jakob Wax. Wax put together a 5-for-10 weekend with five RBIs and two runs scored to help the Trojans power past #16 Coastal Carolina and improve to 18-6 on the season.
