🔼 STATEment Made. After taking down #17 Alabama earlier this week at Riddle-Pace, the Troy Baseball team continued that momentum at home, winning two-of-three from South Alabama in a huge Sun Belt series.

With the two wins, the Trojans move into fourth place in the league standings and clinch a berth in the Sun Belt Tournament later this month.

After dropping the opener to the Jags, Troy bounced back in a big way with wins of 10-5 and 8-1 in the final two games of the weekend. The Trojans blasted six HRs in the two victories.

🔼 Gotta Have Faith. The 2026 Sun Belt Track & Field Championships are on the horizon and for Troy women’s standout Faith Jones, she doesn’t have to look far to find support.

Her fiancé, Jared Jones III, is on the Trojans' men's track & field team as a sprinter.

"We both come from families who were very encouraging, so we still have someone out there watching our races and cheering us on," Faith said of each other's support. 

"In practices, I get to watch him and I'm just like, 'You need to push harder this way.' So, it's like we're able to critique each other because we want us to grow in this sport that we're doing and thrive in everything that we're doing."
