Four of the last five best-of-three championship series in Omaha went to three games.
Only the Ole Miss Rebels in 2023 successfully completed the two-game sweep in the championship round.
History is on Tennessee’s side for Game 2, as is the fact that its most trustworthy starter will be on the mound.
The Vols will not keep their season alive, though, if the top third of the order does not come alive. Nine of their 12 hits in Game 1 came from the No. 4-9 spots in the lineup.
Tennessee needs to match the energy that A&M displayed in the opening frames of Game 1, a run that began with a leadoff home run from Gavin Grahovac.
An early onslaught of runs would benefit either team. A&M has the edge at the plate right now, which was not the case going into the series.
Tennessee scored 25 runs in the first three games in Omaha compared to Texas A&M’s 14.
If the Vols lineup we saw in those contests shows up in Game 2, we will have a winner-take-all Game 3 on Monday.
Prediction: Tennessee 7, Texas A&M 5
