And boy, Vitello let loose with the thrilled Tennessee fans as you can see below.
Before his guys chose to drench him in electrolytes, Vitello had been talking up his guys, who had just won the 60th game of Tennessee’s season. Obviously, it was a team effort all the way through.
“Kids are tough these days, these guys will do whatever you ask them to do,” Vitello said postgame. “I don’t really know what happened the last pitch, but I know our fans got us through that tough inning. … Incredible group of guys. Team chemistry — Just be a good teammate if you’re listening. If you’re in the SEC, you’re going to be a superstar player but you need to be a good teammate and that’s where these guys were.”
All of Vitello’s words were encapsulated in Tennessee’s historic season, winning it all in the end in Omaha.
In Game 3, things started quickly for Vitello and Tennessee as Christian Moore ripped a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first. After the Aggies tied it up in the top of third, the Volunteers answered back.
Dylan Dreiling hit a sacrifice fly to go up 2-1 and then Dean Curley singled into left field to extend the lead 3-1. Once the game progressed to the 7th inning, Texas A&M threatened with two runners on and one out. But, the Aggies were unable to score.
In the bottom half of the inning, Dreiling struck again, this time with a two-run home run to put Tennessee up 5-1. Kavares Tears added another run with a double to make it 6-1.
The Aggies wouldn’t go home without a fight though, scoring two in the top of the 8th. Hayden Schott drove one in and followed by Caden Sorrell, making it 6-3. Despite putting up two runs in the ninth, Texas A&M fell short and Tennessee were crowned national champions.
