Tennessee’s Hunter Ensley juked the Texas A&M catcher to score a huge run in College World Series Final Game 3
Hunter Ensley chose the perfect moment to break out one of the best slides we've ever seen.
Tennessee outfielder Hunter Ensley brought out his best moves with the Tennessee Volunteers’ first baseball national title in program history on the line.
Teammate Dylan Dreiling hit a huge two-run homer earlier in the seventh inning of the decisive College World Series Final Game 3 to give Tennessee a 5-1 lead, and off a double from Kavares Tears, Ensley managed to cross the plate and score a run thanks to an incredibly nifty slide.
He avoided Texas A&M catcher Jackson Appel, who failed to catch the ball in front of the plate, entirely as he juked out of the way Matrix-style. That run ultimately gave the Volunteers a 6-1 lead entering the eighth inning.

Both the Volunteers and the Aggies are seeking their first national titles in program history. After a convincing win in Game 1 on Saturday, Texas A&M nearly locked up the series on Sunday before squandering a late 1-0 lead.
Now, in the game that decides it all, Ensley chose the perfect moment to break out one of the best slides we’ve ever seen.
