OMAHA - Tennessee defeated Florida State 7-2 to advance to the championship series of the 2024 Men's College World Series. It's the second time the Volunteers have made the finals in program history — and the first time since 1951.

The Volunteers took a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back. Tennessee boosted the lead up to 6-0 by the seventh inning stretch before Florida State got on the board late.

Tennessee's pitching staff allowed only seven hits in the game.

Dylan Dreiling went 1-for-4 with two walks, an RBI, run scored and two strikeouts.

No program has more wins over the last four seasons than Tennessee, and now the Volunteers will have a chance to add a title to support those successful seasons.

Texas A&M 6, Florida 0
Texas A&M defeated Florida 6-0 to win advance to the 2024 Men's College World Series finals. 

The Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, forcing an early Florida pitching change. Meanwhile, excellent pitching from Justin Lamkin for the first five innings kicked off a shutout effort. Lamkin had nine of Texas A&M's 14 strikeouts in the win.
