OMAHA, Neb. -- Gavin Grahovac homered to begin the game, Texas A&M broke it open with a five-run third inning and the Aggies beat Tennessee 9-5 in the Men's College World Series finals opener Saturday night.
Tennessee , trying to become the first No. 1 national seed since 1999 to win the championship, will go into Sunday's Game 2 having lost consecutive games just once this season and not since March 16-17 at Alabama.The No. 3 Aggies capitalized on a couple errors that led to two runs -- Tennessee has committed eight in four MCWS games -- and on the inability of pitchers Chris Stamos and AJ Causey to consistently hit their spots.
Causey walked Jace LaViolette leading off the third, Jackson Appel's comebacker deflected off Causey's foot for a base hit and Hayden Schott followed with an RBI single to start the Aggies' five-run outburst. The Vols, the nation's most prolific home-run hitting team in three decades, used the long ball to create some anxiety for the Aggies in the bottom of the seventh.
