Social media reactions to Tennessee baseball’s first College World Series win
In the seventh inning of the decisive third game of the College World Series, it looked like the Tennessee baseball team’s path to its first national baseball championship would be a walk in the park. With a 6-1 lead and all the momentum on their side, the Vols were just six outs away from becoming the first No. 1 seed to win the College World Series since 1999.
The Texas A&M hitters woke up and made it a 6-5 game with the game remaining, but Hunter Ensley’s brilliant slide home was the game-winner for the Vols. Aaron Combs’ electrifying fastball stalled the Aggie hitters and Tony Vitello’s Vols held on for the win.

It was a storybook ending for a Vols team that had lost the first game of the finals to the Aggies. Zander Sechrist took the win with 5 1/3 innings pitched, seven strikeouts and just one run allowed. Kirby Connell made two timely outs in the eighth inning. And Combs finally sealed the deal with a strikeout of Aggies superstar Jace LaViolette.
After the game, Vitello simply said, “These days, kids are tough. These guys will do anything you ask of them.”
This is how the baseball world reacted to the Vols’ courageous victory.
