In Tennessee’s showdown against Florida State in the College World Series, Christian Moore hit a single, double, triple and home run, becoming only the second player to ever record a cycle in the CWS. The only other player was Minnesota’s Jerry Kindall, who achieved the feat in 1956.

The home run cut Florida State’s lead to 9-7. It was a rocket, flying 440 feet, which is the third-longest home run ever recorded in Charles Schwab Field. The home run was Moore’s 33rd this season, tying Morehead State’s Roman Kuntz for the third-most home runs in the nation.

Fueled by Moore’s efforts, Tennessee has been off to a hot start in the NCAA Tournament. The Volunteers boast a collective 5-1 record through the regional and super-regional rounds of the NCAA Tournament. The team’s only loss came against Evansville in the Knoxville Super Regional.

In total, Tennessee has outscored its opponents 64-29 in the NCAA Tournament. Now, with little time left, Tennessee will look to pull off a comeback against the Seminoles.
