In an intense baseball game at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska, Christian Moore played a crucial role in Tennessee’s comeback. Down by two runs with two outs in the ninth inning, Moore faced his final strike. However, he managed to hit a double to the left-field corner. Blake Burke then came through with a two-run single after a seven-pitch at-bat, showcasing Tennessee’s postseason magic and securing a walk-off win for the Vols against Florida State.
Throughout the game, Moore was a standout player for Tennessee, going 5-for-6 with a cycle and four extra-base hits. His performance, including hitting a 440-foot homer in the seventh inning, made College World Series history. Moore’s cycle was only the sixth in Tennessee’s history, with the last one occurring in 1956.
The Vols’ ninth-inning rally was a key moment in the game. Trailing by three runs, Kavares Tears kickstarted the comeback with a triple off the wall, followed by a sacrifice fly from Dean Curley. The team battled through full-count situations, with Cannon Peebles drawing a walk and Moore and Burke coming up big with clutch hits to tie the game.
