TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Troy hit two home runs in a 5-run fifth inning and held off several late rallies to defeat No. 24 Boston College, 11-10, in the opening round of the Tuscaloosa Regional at Sewell-Thomas Stadium on Friday. The Trojans scored eight runs on seven hits in the final three innings of the game.
The win is Troy's fourth straight to open an NCAA Regional dating back to 2011, all as a No. 3 seed, and sets up a date with either Alabama or Nicholls State on Saturday at 8 p.m.
"Just an incredible game," Troy head coach Skylar Meade said.
