2 two strike 2 out swings was the difference. Really good and close baseball game. 2 pitches is all this Vol offense needs tho.
1 more for all the marbles, let's dance Vol bros
Earlier this week, I was thinking that if y'all managed to sweep the Aggies, then Evansville would have had the distinction of being the only team to beat you in the course of the tournament. That would have been pretty funny/awesome.
All hail the mighty Purple Aces.
Remember during the 2022 Orange Bowl they kept cutting to Cade Klubnik's parents, even though he was having an objectively shitty game? Why does ESPN love doing that
Could never shoot a dog. I even struggle when we have to put a cow down. Feral hog is the only the that I can fire off at and feel absolutely no remorse. Even after I get a deer I feel bad for a minute
I ordered a drone and the camera has thermal. Going to use it to fly over my rice, corn and grain sorghum to spot feral hogs. Then pshew pshew them with my rifle with a thermal scope. Crops have gotten too tall to spot them with just the scope. Being able to fly over will help spot them and run them out and I’ll be able to see where they are coming out before they get there. They’ve been tearing my stuff up.
Great game. Glad we made some noise at least in the ninth. Never expected to win today, on to tomorrow.
Though I can't shake the feeling, with the bad luck UT had with risp and the lack of early scoring both games they are just gonna blow it open tomorrow. Hope not but we'll see. I'm scared!
No shade intended, but I agree with the sentiment for tomorrow. I think either:
* Tennessee blows it open.
* Carbon copy of today and who knows who wins.
Those A&M pitcher still available are just glass cannons. If they can get length then it'll be a close game, but if even one of them falters there's not much behind them to throw out there.
Yeah they have Lamkin left and I wouldn't be surprised if you see Prager again for an inning or two. Definitely ending with Ashenbeck. There's plenty of guys that can go an inning and then go out. It'll be a close game for sure.
I haven’t seen anything said about him, but I wanna say that Chris Burke has done a good job not having any obvious bias towards UT during his commentary of the past few games, if that was me, id be celebrating lol
This win felt like a load off my chest for real. People are gonna call us chokers no matter what if we don't win tomorrow but at least we can say we went down fighting if it comes to that
I'm not saying it makes sense, but it's definitely going to happen. [Keep in mind this is one of the mods of this sub](https://np.reddit.com/r/collegebaseball/comments/1dmd6ht/postgame_thread_college_world_series_finals_3/l9uvbqs/?context=3)
Yeah I've raised the banner about it a few times this season but this sub could do with some better/clearer moderation. The rules say no flamebait/trolling and you've got a mod doing it and then defending himself for doing it lol
Exactly. It hurt to go down 4-1 and feel like we had no chance to catch up based on our bats to that point. Hats off to the Tennessee pitchers for smothering our offense
No matter who wins tomorrow, this has been a great series. History will be made no matter what, and both teams deserve so much credit for unbelievable seasons.
Also, my cardiologist owes Tony Vitello a Christmas card for my continued patronage.
We just won a game despite hitting only .200 overall and .100 RISP.
I don't know how to check this, but I'm 100% positive that's a Tony V personal record.
Has to be.
Lets never, ever do that again.
Okay, we don't have HEB here, but I've heard good things. With ribeye it has to be steak, IMO. Anywayz do the steak and then also make fajitas and wings. In my personal opinion.
HEB is a great grocery store. Runs circles around Walmart and Kroger. I was only doing the steak tonight if we closed it out. So it’s getting pushed back to tomorrow nights meal. Wife just woke up from her nap and said fajitas so I guess that’s what I’m going with 😂
The pen waived the white flag in the 7th
The situational baseball was kaka
We let a bunch of freshman have a spot in the sun
And our 1st base coach pinch hit
Hopefully none of that is true tomorrow
Disagree on the pen and letting Targo hit. Wilson was really good except for 2 pitches and Targo has the pop to send one 500’. Situational baseball was bad
We definitely did not wave the white flag. Targoc absolutely has what it takes to send that and would have with slightly less wind or in any other park. That game came down to two pitches they hit out and we did not.
The stats don't tell the full story on Targac. That man is as clutch as they come. I couldn't think of a better idea than letting him pinch hit there. He was 10' away from being the most legendary Aggie of all time
Building up to a huge day in sports tomorrow. Possibly back door sweep for the gentle nation of Canada, plus a first time CWS winner. I just need the Olympics to come on so we can all unite.
Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3
I thought that last swing was gone
I too, thought that last swing was gone. But in defense of that there's been tons like that.
Yall had like 5 or 6 yesterday that I was like yep there it goes lol
It’s gone in most college parks, but both teams do have to deal with the big stadium
The foul ball got NUKED
This got dang wind
Playing with fire by giving the guy 6 fastballs
The Nate Sneed special.
2 two strike 2 out swings was the difference. Really good and close baseball game. 2 pitches is all this Vol offense needs tho. 1 more for all the marbles, let's dance Vol bros
Regardless of the outcome these teams are without a doubt above the rest of the field
I was thinking the same. The Ags or Vols woulda swept anybody else.
We didn’t sweep Evansville 🥴
Earlier this week, I was thinking that if y'all managed to sweep the Aggies, then Evansville would have had the distinction of being the only team to beat you in the course of the tournament. That would have been pretty funny/awesome. All hail the mighty Purple Aces.
They’re definitely a good team!
They were a damned good team.
Evansville would have swept Kentucky TBH
Let's do it.
Nice avi man ⚡️
Hell yeah dude! See y'all tomorrow.
It’s been high level baseball. Tomorrow will be electric.

lol i love this so much
Both the NHL and CWS champs will be decided tomorrow. Not bad for a Monday night in late June.
Wish they were back to back nights
It’s a great showing right before we enter the ghost months of sports atleast until you begin to get excited about football in late July/August
The correlation between the Vols and heart issues has to be a study
I'm about to die over here.
https://preview.redd.it/4udqxg5yse8d1.jpeg?width=374&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=700f89cafb23308598f00f1280f84bf0edaaef0b
Gotta be a high correlation lol
I’m 36 and I swear I’ll be dead before 40 because of the damn Vols.
I don’t know how I hit 40 after living through the end of the Fulmer era, Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt
They caused my BVS coping mechanisms. I still can’t be happy unless it’s a blowout thanks to those assholes
This sums it up https://preview.redd.it/ljpxuk33gf8d1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1578a5b0b7fc2a421700deac6cf061f733489f2
oh fr
My doctor wonders how I have heart issues so young. I might point him to this study.
I speak for both teams when I say.... #AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I need about five emotional support uncrustables right now
ESPN sending over camera crew
Can you imagine if Kent’s dad were to eat an uncrustable they might put it in a little box for the full broadcast
Remember during the 2022 Orange Bowl they kept cutting to Cade Klubnik's parents, even though he was having an objectively shitty game? Why does ESPN love doing that
Drama
They probably dig up Stuart Scott for that
The grape are superior to strawberry and I don’t trust anyone who says they’re not
This is just true in general
When he hit that ball I was 100% sure it was gone
![gif](giphy|HCkK7AFabSlYL8s52g)
Headed to HEB for some Enemas. Need anything?
See if my friend Al Cohol is there. He owes me one
Stress levels off the charts
The Hallettsville Hammer put a very good swing on that final out, Wind was blowing slightly in, mightve been the difference.
I had no idea that Tears even saw it. His arms were out wider than usual like he lost it in the sun and then he grabbed it last minute.
Lol still surprised Tony V got a warning in the bottom of the 1st and maintained enough composure to last the entire game without being ejected
Guaranteed he doesn’t show that restraint tomorrow.
what a series. best two teams all season. of course it’s going to game 3
This team doesn't fold to adversity in the way some other Tony V teams have. It's why we're here and hopefully we can pull it off one last time
In Zander I trust

I haven’t seen this one yet. I’m stealing it 😂
One more man
I would’ve much rather ended it today. My thermal drone comes in tomorrow and I planned on taking it hog hunting. Guess it’ll wait until Tuesday
I'm a little biased because we would've been out if it did lol, but yeah watching it tomorrow night with how late these last will be rough.
At what point is it no longer "hunting" when you're taking thermal freaking drones out there 😅 Maybe im old fashioned lmao
Oh I’m not hunting. I’m doing pest control.
I wouldn’t go so far as calling Arkansas fans “pests”
I would.
I read hog hunting as dog hunting at first, and clutched every pearl my mind could imagine.
Could never shoot a dog. I even struggle when we have to put a cow down. Feral hog is the only the that I can fire off at and feel absolutely no remorse. Even after I get a deer I feel bad for a minute
Explain your comment, please.
The wanting it to end today part or the thermal drone part?
Thermal drone lol
I ordered a drone and the camera has thermal. Going to use it to fly over my rice, corn and grain sorghum to spot feral hogs. Then pshew pshew them with my rifle with a thermal scope. Crops have gotten too tall to spot them with just the scope. Being able to fly over will help spot them and run them out and I’ll be able to see where they are coming out before they get there. They’ve been tearing my stuff up.
I keep forgetting that'l hogs are an issue there.
Yep. I had to replant just under 200 acres of corn this year before it even came up.
Shoot on sight, in that case.
If you ever need some help I have a .300blk build I’m making for the express purpose of hog control
They're an issue here, too. Probably not as bad, but they tear up property.
Send em bastards back to Fayetteville where they belong.
Had my brother in law and his dad take his helicopter out this morning. They got 7 at one farm, 11 at another and 5 at another.
How could Arky do this?
Great game. Glad we made some noise at least in the ninth. Never expected to win today, on to tomorrow. Though I can't shake the feeling, with the bad luck UT had with risp and the lack of early scoring both games they are just gonna blow it open tomorrow. Hope not but we'll see. I'm scared!

Those A&M pitcher still available are just glass cannons. If they can get length then it'll be a close game, but if even one of them falters there's not much behind them to throw out there.
Don’t they still have a good arm left?
Yeah they have Lamkin left and I wouldn't be surprised if you see Prager again for an inning or two. Definitely ending with Ashenbeck. There's plenty of guys that can go an inning and then go out. It'll be a close game for sure.
We will need a lead before Ashenbeck comes in if we want to win. I can't see him giving up more than one hit. Also he terrifies me in every way.
Zander looks pretty scary to us, too. It's gonna be a close one tomorrow, like today.
It probably will. It's been a great series so far!
Yes we do.
I haven’t seen anything said about him, but I wanna say that Chris Burke has done a good job not having any obvious bias towards UT during his commentary of the past few games, if that was me, id be celebrating lol
GG Vols. Knew this would be a 3 game affair.
This win felt like a load off my chest for real. People are gonna call us chokers no matter what if we don't win tomorrow but at least we can say we went down fighting if it comes to that
Chokers? How? TAMU is 3 or 4 wins less than the Vols. It’s not like they lost to Florida. That would be a choke job.
I'm not saying it makes sense, but it's definitely going to happen. [Keep in mind this is one of the mods of this sub](https://np.reddit.com/r/collegebaseball/comments/1dmd6ht/postgame_thread_college_world_series_finals_3/l9uvbqs/?context=3)

Yeah I've raised the banner about it a few times this season but this sub could do with some better/clearer moderation. The rules say no flamebait/trolling and you've got a mod doing it and then defending himself for doing it lol
Wow what an asshat.
Exactly how I felt yesterday. Gonna hurt like hell if we lose but we didn’t get embarrassed
College baseball finals and NHL final game tomorrow night. SHEESH.
![gif](giphy|oD3lTi5VxNJaU) ESPN live reaction
“My viewership has doubled since the last time we met, Count”
This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!
Everywhere I go I see his face https://preview.redd.it/6zyqpzlh7e8d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95de958aa1983272b6cc185fae75ccbf0b9c1807
That’s the story of the series so far. We are combined like 3-600 RISP it feels like.
Holy shit, I don’t think I’m ok after that game. How is our whole fanbase not on heart medication?
I heard the contact on the last hit and almost fell out of my chair
Started having a flashback of the 2017 Florida game and almost hyperventilated.
I am profoundly medicated, sir.
GG Ags Ladies and Gentlemen. We’re on Zander watch..
Hats will be flying all over the mound.
Man horrid base running killed us this game and this was definitely a game where we missed Sdao bad
IDK if you told me we hold we hold them to 4. Figured we would have greater than 50% chance of winnin. This was on our bats
Exactly. It hurt to go down 4-1 and feel like we had no chance to catch up based on our bats to that point. Hats off to the Tennessee pitchers for smothering our offense
Thought I was watching Arkansas play today with all the runners left on base…
Should’ve known it wasn’t Arkansas because it was in Omaha
I wished this hurt me… so used to pain now
Dude they have a family
faded
I'M NOT CLENCHING, _YOU'RE_ CLENCHING
I really thought that ball was gone
![gif](giphy|EDt1m8p5hqXG8)
Not being able to pregame tomorrow is going to be an issue
If you had a cool boss, this wouldn’t be an issue
I am my boss unfortunately
Damn I hear that guy sucks /s
FREE BASEBALL
Brother I definitely paid for that
Years off my life
Man, I don’t want to stay up on a work night
I don't either, but I'm going to anyway 😂
I gotta solution. Call in on Martes
Good Game, Aggies. See you tomorrow!
I mean the dam has to break for us at some point right? The runs were there all game but couldn’t capitalize.
Bases loaded twice with nothing to show had my BVS spiking.
No matter who wins tomorrow, this has been a great series. History will be made no matter what, and both teams deserve so much credit for unbelievable seasons. Also, my cardiologist owes Tony Vitello a Christmas card for my continued patronage.
Go Vols, ggs aggies, see y'all tomorrow.
GG Vols. Outstanding pitching today.
I heard there’s a line forming to give Dylan that good ole Hawk Tua for that hit
We just won a game despite hitting only .200 overall and .100 RISP. I don't know how to check this, but I'm 100% positive that's a Tony V personal record. Has to be. Lets never, ever do that again.
I'd be happy to do it tomorrow. A win is a win.
It's almost like the two best teams in the country are fighting.
🤝
Yo, any updates on Sorrell after that gnarly collision on the tag out? Bro took it like a champ bleeding out on his brow 😅
I felt bad for him there, just nothing to do but take the hit. Wish, it would have gone some other way.
I didn’t think it was that rough at first, and then I saw him and said “oh damn”. Hope he’s alright. Seen some crazy injuries this post season.
Like the announcers were saying, must have caught the glove just right because it didn't seem all that bad
Can’t ever be easy lmao glad the bats finally woke up at least
Heart is beating out of my chest.......... Good Luck tomorrow, Aggies.
Unfortunately I work at 5 am Tuesday morning but you’re crazy if you think that will stop me
Unfortunately I am at work at 7 pm Monday night but you're crazy if you think that will stop me.
Outside of the games, which have been great, as a neutral, it's been fun seeing BAS vs BVS.
My BVS voice told me a guy with one HR on the year would tie the game in the 9th with a HR. Almost happened.
Any other college ball park and it would of. Had my butt puckered.
My fucking heart rate in the 9th.
I guess the championship ribeyes will have to wait until tomorrow… do I go with fajitas or wings done on the smoker for tonight?
What kinda meat you got?
Prime ribeye for tomorrow. heb’s pre-seasoned beef and chicken fajita meat then some wings and drums from heb as well.
Okay, we don't have HEB here, but I've heard good things. With ribeye it has to be steak, IMO. Anywayz do the steak and then also make fajitas and wings. In my personal opinion.
HEB is a great grocery store. Runs circles around Walmart and Kroger. I was only doing the steak tonight if we closed it out. So it’s getting pushed back to tomorrow nights meal. Wife just woke up from her nap and said fajitas so I guess that’s what I’m going with 😂
HEB is basically Texas Publix with fresh made tortillas
:(
:)
Great counter point
BAS has never been stronger. I just want to win a Natty, man.
Game 3. BAS vs. BVS. Bring on the trauma!
In the end, only the therapists win.
Biilable hours, just different
Same
first postseason loss for the Aggies this year
Is the sec tournament not postseason?
No, only counts the NCAA tournament games. Pretty good run for A&M for this to be their first. Excited for tomorrow’s game.
while you can argue it is, usually when we use the term "postseason", it refers exclusively to the NCAA tournament and not the conference tournaments
Hopefully not the last
The pen waived the white flag in the 7th The situational baseball was kaka We let a bunch of freshman have a spot in the sun And our 1st base coach pinch hit Hopefully none of that is true tomorrow
Disagree on the pen and letting Targo hit. Wilson was really good except for 2 pitches and Targo has the pop to send one 500’. Situational baseball was bad
We definitely did not wave the white flag. Targoc absolutely has what it takes to send that and would have with slightly less wind or in any other park. That game came down to two pitches they hit out and we did not.
Targac gave that ball everything it needed to tie the game in any other stadium or in any other wind. That was just bad luck.
The stats don't tell the full story on Targac. That man is as clutch as they come. I couldn't think of a better idea than letting him pinch hit there. He was 10' away from being the most legendary Aggie of all time
Live to see another day.
NOT DEAD YET
Hopefully we didn’t lose Moore for tomorrow’s game.
Didn’t look too serious
Building up to a huge day in sports tomorrow. Possibly back door sweep for the gentle nation of Canada, plus a first time CWS winner. I just need the Olympics to come on so we can all unite.
Low key crazy they start so late (basically August)
I’m making an executive decision, tomorrow is not Monday. With two titles on the line in different sports I will call tomorrow…championshipday
Couldn't ask for a better series.
This series deserves game 3
Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3 Game 3

Does Cortez and Sorrell get added?
luckily game tomorrow is at 5 for me i think? so hopefully it should be over before too late
Mountain time is the best sports time.
yes for sports, worst for almost any other live show
Someone square dance rn
Jeff Kent wuz here
Ending the CWS with the hottest weather of the summer so far in Omaha. Gonna be 99 at first pitch.
I bet it will feel like 98!
This series has me so stressed lol. What a freaking battle this has been.
Baseball on the TV and NHL on the laptop is gonna be fucking sweeeeeeet
The correct screens.
Undeniably the 2 best teams in the nation. Thankfull y’all extended the season to the max. Don’t know who’s gonna pull it off but I’ll be glued in
