The Tennessee Volunteers beat Texas A&M in Game 3 of the 2024 Men’s College World Series finals, 6-5. With their 60th win of the season, the Vols won the first national title in program history.
Texas A&M beat the Vols, 9-5, in Game 1 of the MCWS finals, then Tennessee completed the come-from-behind feat for the title, using late offense to top the Aggies in Game 2, 4-1, and maintaining an early lead in Game 3. With an RBI and a home run in Game 3, Dylan Dreiling won Most Outstanding Player of the 2024 MCWS. Dreiling also made history as the first player to hit a home run in all three of the MCWS finals games.
The Vols went up 6-1, highlighted by Hunter Ensley’s acrobatic slide to avoid Jackson Appel’s tag, before the Aggies scored four straight runs in the final two innings to cut the deficit to one. Tennessee closer Aaron Combs finished the job, striking out Ted Burton for the Tennessee victory.
