Following a thrilling walk-off in Friday night's 12-11 comeback victory over Florida State, the Vols will now take on No. 4 North Carolina in round two of the College World Series.
Friday night's fireworks will be etched in Volunteer history for years to come, as the Vols rallied back from a five-run deficit in walk-off fashion, courtesy of a two-out single hit by Dylan Dreiling, advancing Tennessee to the second round of the College World Series. North Carolina had a similar path to Sunday's contest, hitting a walk-off against No. 12 Virginia in a tightly contested matchup.
The Tennessee offense aims to build upon their explosive performance from Friday night, where the Vols racked up 18 hits in a thrilling comeback victory against Florida State. The Volunteers' lineup will be tested against North Carolina's left-handed pitcher Shea Sprague, who has excelled throughout the postseason. Sprague holds a 2-0 record in the NCAA Tournament with wins against LSU and West Virginia, allowing just four runs and 11 hits in his tournament outings.
Players to watch in Friday's matchup include Tennessee's Christian Moore and North Carolina's Vance Honeycutt. Moore is coming off one of the best performances of his career, going 5-for-6 at the plate against Florida State and hitting only the second cycle in College World Series history. Moore also holds Tennessee's program records for most home runs in a single season and career home runs.
