Overview
- Game 1 is set for Friday at 4 p.m. CT at Riddle‑Pace Field and will air on ESPNU with streaming on ESPN+; Game 2 is scheduled for Saturday on ESPN2 and an if‑needed Game 3 time and network are to be announced.
- Both programs are making their first super regional appearances after UALR swept the Hattiesburg Regional 3-0 and Troy rallied through the Gainesville Regional with four straight wins following an opening loss.
- UALR plans to start right‑hander Brannon Westmoreland in Game 1 after he had five innings in the regional opener and will have extra rest for the super regional assignment.
- Troy, the higher regional seed, will likely counter with lefty Benjamin Stubbs though the school had not officially named its Friday starter as of Thursday.
- Troy hosts because Riddle‑Pace Field meets NCAA hosting standards and Gary Hogan Field in Little Rock does not, and a win would be a first College World Series berth for either program and a landmark moment for their conferences.
