Troy stayed alive with a 16-11 win over Florida on Sunday, sending the Gainesville Regional to a winner-take-all Monday championship game for a Super Regional berth.
Nine runs in the sixth broke it open after the Trojans hit four homers off Florida starter Liam Peterson, with Jimmy Janicki going 2-for-4 with two home runs and six RBI.
Cooper Ellingworth steadied Troy by allowing five runs over six innings without a walk, while Florida's four homers—including two from Caden McDonald and a Cade Kurland grand slam—were not enough.
35 home runs have been hit in six Gainesville Regional games, underscoring the offensive surge heading into Monday's rematch; Troy would later win that final 10-2 to reach its first Super Regional.
