Troy University’s first appearance in the College World Series has been marked by a theft of camera equipment from the team bus. The stolen equipment, valued at $35,000, included cameras and lenses.
The theft was discovered after the team arrived at Charles Schwab Field for its game against Mississippi on Sunday. According to a police report, a Troy official reported the theft shortly before noon. The bus had been parked near the team hotel since about 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Omaha Police spokesman Michael Pecha said no arrests had been made and that the investigation continues. The NCAA, local organizer CWS Inc., and host institutions Creighton and Nebraska-Omaha lent equipment to Troy photographers who shot pictures of the 12-8 win over the Rebels and shared some of their content with the school.
Adam Prendergast, Troy’s executive associate athletic director for communications, expressed gratitude for the help to capture what was a historic day for Troy Baseball and Troy Athletics. Troy plays West Virginia in an elimination game Tuesday.
