The field at the Men’s College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, has been whittled down to two: No. 3 Texas A&Mand No. 1 Tennessee. With each team winning on Wednesday, both the Aggies and Volunteers advanced to the best-of-three series, where a national champion will be crowned. Game 1 is Saturday.
Tennessee now boasts an impressive 58-12 record on the season and is the first No. 1 national seed to advance to the championship series since 2009. The Vols lead the nation with 178 home runs and are the first team in Division-I history to have five players with 20 or more homers.
- Yet in order to seal the deal in the championship series and capture the program’s first national title, they will need the talented right arm of junior pitcher Drew Beam against a Texas A&M team averaging 11 runs per game in the postseason.
