Tennessee baseball is on the brink of claiming its first national championship, but they have to win the final two games of the College World Series against Texas A&M. The Vols lost the opener 9-5 but bounced back with a 4-1 victory in Game 2. The series will come down to a winner-take-all Game 3 on Monday.
In Game 2, Tennessee struggled in the opener, making three errors and struggling on the mound, but managed to come back strong with a solid performance both defensively and offensively. The game was tied at 1-1 heading into the eighth inning, when Cal Stark hit a two-run home run to give the Vols the lead. Pitcher Aaron Combs also had a strong outing, shutting down Texas A&M’s offense to secure the win.
Heading into Game 3, Tennessee will need to continue their strong performance to claim the national title. The Vols will have to rely on their offense to produce runs and their pitching staff to keep Texas A&M’s potent lineup at bay. The stakes are high as the winner of Game 3 will be crowned the 2024 College World Series champion.
With both teams fighting for their first national title, Game 3 promises to be an intense battle between two talented programs. Tennessee fans will be on the edge of their seats as they watch their team vie for college baseball glory.
