The Troy baseball team clinched a three-game road series over conference rival Louisiana before drilling Alabama State at home 14-1.
The Trojans won the first two games of their series with the Ragin’ Cajuns 6-2 and 8-5 before losing the series finale 4-3.
The Trojans (17-8, 3-3 Sun Belt) have now won 11 of their last 14 games heading into a stretch where six of the next seven games have Sun Belt implications. The lone loss of the week bumped the Trojans down in the conference standings as South Alabama’s 3-2 conference record eclipsed Troy for the third slot in the East Division.
