Tennessee Volunteers Rally from Three-Run Deficit to Stun Florida State Seminoles in Walk-Off Victory at Men's College World Series

In an exciting turn of events at the Men's College World Series, the top-seeded Tennessee Volunteers rallied from a three-run deficit to defeat the Florida State Seminoles in a thrilling walk-off victory on Friday night. The game saw both teams display impressive offensive performances, with each team recording over 12 hits.

The Vols opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning when Christian Moore led off with a triple and scored on Dylan Dreiling's bloop single. However, Florida State responded with five runs in the top of the third to take a commanding 5-1 lead. Tennessee pitcher Chris Stamos was unable to record an out before being replaced by AJ Causey.

The Seminoles continued their offensive onslaught in the fourth inning, scoring four more runs to extend their lead to 9-1. But the Vols refused to give up and began chipping away at Florida State's lead. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Tennessee scored a run with two outs when Billy Amick reached base on an error and came around to score on Dreiling's single.

The drama continued in the ninth inning as Tennessee loaded the bases with one out. Moore stepped up to the plate and hit a triple, scoring two runs and completing the cycle. With runners on second and third, Dreiling delivered a game-winning single to left field, sending Tennessee fans into a frenzy.

The Vols' bullpen played a crucial role in their comeback victory. Nate Snead pitched 2.1 scoreless innings to earn his 10th win of the season, while Connor Hults relieved Florida State pitcher Brennen Oxford and surrendered the game-winning hit to Dreiling.

The Vols will face North Carolina in a winner's bracket game on Sunday at 7 p.m., while Florida State must defeat Virginia in an elimination game at 2 p.m. to keep their tournament hopes alive.
