Troy’s offense came alive in a 12-8 win over Mississippi in an elimination game at the College World Series on Sunday.

Trojans Advance to Next Round

The Trojans, who lost 7-5 to West Virginia on Friday, erased a four-run deficit to post their 18th come-from-behind win of the season and advance to a game Tuesday against the loser of the West Virginia-North Carolina game.

Mississippi went two-games-and-out in its first trip to Charles Schwab Field since winning the national championship in 2022. Southeastern Conference teams had won 14 straight against non-SEC opponents in the CWS before the Rebels lost to North Carolina and Troy.

The conditions were perfect for the 3-hour, 54-minute offensive free-for-all — sunny, 70 degrees at first pitch and a 15-mph wind blowing out. The teams combined for 26 hits and six homers, second-most in a game at the 15-year-old stadium.
