Tennessee will play in the CWS finals for the first time in the modern era after it knocked out Florida State with a 7-2 victory, becoming the first No. 1 national seed since 2009 to advance. Texas…
Tennessee’s Christian Moore slides home to score during the second inning of their College World Series game against Florida State on Wednesday in Omaha, Neb. The Volunteers, the No. 1 national seed, are headed to the CWS championship series for the first time in the modern era after their 7-2 win. OMAHA, Neb. — Tennessee fell flat in its two previous College World Series appearances and in between there was the crushing loss in NCAA super regionals as the No. 1 national seed.
“We always say before something happens, something happens,” Vols coach Tony Vitello said. “There’s been a lot of build-up into the successes we’ve had this year and the failures, too, to be honest with you. And it’s been fun to be a part of.” The Vols broke through under Vitello after winning a combined one of five games in trips to Omaha in 2021 and 2023. In 2022, they lost a three-game super regional to Notre Dame team at home.
Sechrist came into the game 3-0 in his previous four starts with an 0.78 ERA and 18 strikeouts in 23 innings. His scoreless streak in the NCAA Tournament ended at 17⅓ innings when Daniel Cantu and Alex Lodise hit back-to-back homers in the seventh. “K.T.’s catch set the tone, especially in the first inning,” Sechrist said. “I know our offense scored in the top of the first, but he set the tone right there.”Texas A&M is going to play for a national championship in baseball for the first time in the program’s 130-year history.
Hours after Florida banged out 14 hits and scored its third-most runs this season in a 15-4 win over Kentucky, the Gators managed just four hits and were shut out for the first time in 145 games.“It’s like you’re going full speed ahead, and you win the game this morning, and you go back to the hotel, everybody’s in a good mood, we’re feeling really good about tonight, and it just didn’t go our way,” Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan said. “As simple as that, and Texas A&M deserves to move on.
Few expected Florida to make it to the final four of the CWS. The Gators struggled in the regular season and had to win their last series, at Georgia, to achieve the winning record necessary to be eligible for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. They won regionals and super regionals on the road to get here.
“I remember coming to these games when I was 10 years old and wanting to be part of this,” said Sorrell, who grew up three hours from College Station in Highland Village, Texas. “The job’s not finished yet.”Brody Donay hit a grand slam for the first of his two homers, Jac Caglianone became Florida’s all-time home run leader and the Gators rode a seven-run first inning to a 15-4 victory over Kentucky in an elimination game earlier Wednesday.
The Gators’ bats didn’t require a wakeup call for the 10 a.m. game. They banged out 15 hits and finished with their third-highest run total of the season. Pierce Coppola , who came back in April following back and shoulder injuries that caused him to miss the 2023 season, gave the Gators exactly what they needed in his career-long five innings. The left-hander struck out nine, and the Gators had a five-run lead when his day ended.
