Tennessee baseball fans were over the moon after the program’s 1st national championship

For The Win (usatoday.com) 

For the first time in program history, the Tennessee Volunteers are College World Series champions.

Coach Tony Vitello’s team capped off an impressive run in Omaha with a 6-5 win over the Texas A&M Aggies on Monday night in Game 3 of the CWS Final, overcoming a Game 1 loss to win the final two games and dogpile victoriously on Charles Schwab Field.

Though the Aggies rallied after falling behind 6-1, a three-run seventh inning for the Vols ultimately proved to be the difference-maker, including a SportsCenter Top 10-caliber slide into home from Hunter Ensley.

With the win, Tennessee also ends the so-called “No. 1 seed curse,” becoming the first top-seeded team to win the tournament since Miami in 1999, the first year that featured national seeding.
