Drew Beam on Tennessee baseball reaching College World Series final
Tennessee baseball beat Florida State 7-2 on Wednesday to advance to the College World Series final for the second time in program history.
The Men’s College World Series championship is down to its last game. And, either way, history will be made.
No. 3 Texas A&M (53-14) will take on No. 1 Tennessee (59-13) in a winner-takes-all showdown Monday night to determine the winner of the three-game series and — more importantly — the national championship.
Neither the Volunteers nor the Aggies have ever won a MCWS title in the 76-year history of the event. The Aggies had never even made it to a MCWS final; Tennessee last appeared in the final in 1951, when it lost to Oklahoma.
Texas A&M stole the first game of the series Saturday in a 9-5 victory that saw the Aggies take command with a five-run third inning. Tennessee answered back the following day with a 4-1 victory to tie the series, thanks to a pair of two-run homers in the seventh and eighth innings. Which brings us now to Monday.
