The best postseason in Little Rock baseball history could only get sweeter with a couple of wins. The battle of Trojans in Troy for the NCAA Super Regional will reward one of the programs with a trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
Little Rock is riding an eight-game winning streak, while Troy rallied through the Gainesville Regional by winning four straight elimination games, including two victories over nationally-seeded Florida.
First pitch for the third game of the Super Regional round will be at 5 p.m. ET.
