OMAHA, Neb.—Christian Moore hit a leadoff home run, Dylan Dreiling went deep for the third time in three games, and Tennessee won its first national championship in baseball with a 6–5 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Texas A&M on Monday night, June 24, in Game 3 of the College World Series finals.

The Volunteers bounced back from a Game 1 loss to win two straight and become the first No. 1 national seed in the NCAA Tournament to win the title since Miami in 1999.
