Texas A&M tied the game when Gavin Grahovac singled to score Travis Chestnut in the second inning. Tennessee responded with a Dylan Dreiling sacrifice fly and a Dean Curley RBI single.

Dreiling, who had a heroic effort in Game 2, hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh. Kavares Tears' RBI double then made it 6-1. The game was going Tennessee's way, but Texax A&M began to make a comeback in the eighth inning.

Two runs in the eighth inning and two runs in the ninth had Vols fans sweating.

But once Combs struck out Burton, it was pure jubilation.

Tennessee's Zander Sechrist started for the Vols. He lasted 5.1 innings and struck out seven batters.

The Volunteers finished second in the College World Series in 1951. Oklahoma beat them 3-2 that year.
