TROY, Alabama - The Troy baseball team will wrap up its nine-game homestand with a Trivia Tuesday night matchup against Jacksonville State with the first pitch set to begin at 6 p.m. The first 500 fans will receive a free "Whup Jax State" t-shirt.
Barry McKnight and Jerry Miller will be broadcasting the game live amongst the fans behind the left field fence. Fans can hear the broadcast live at 94.7 FM or TroyTrojans.com. The game can also be seen live at TroyTrojans.com.
Troy (20-13) has extended its winning streak to six games and looks to make it seven on Tuesday night. The Trojans have gone 7-1 during the stretch of home games and have hit 22 doubles, three triples and eight home runs.
