Historic Night For Christian Moore At College World Series Sparked Tennessee's Dramatic Win Over Florida State

If you weren't watching the College World Series on Friday night, you certainly missed one of the wildest games in recent memory, thanks to Tennessee and Florida State. 

The second game of the day featured the Vols and Seminoles battling in what could only be described as one of the ugliest defensive performances from both teams. But that ultimately didn't stop the baseball gods from delivering us a a fantastic finish. 

Florida State had the offense rolling through four innings, leading the Vols 9-4 and looking like a team bound for the winner's bracket. As Tony Vitello kept going to the bullpen for pitching relief, it felt as though the Vols offense would be in for a long night of trying to keep up with the Seminoles. 

Obviously, that message wasn't sent to Tennessee's Christian Moore, who stole the show on day one of the College World Series. Starting the game with a triple down the left field line, he followed that with a double and single to cap-off his first three at-bats. 

It was the sixth inning that produced an historic moment for all in attendance watching, with Christian Moore stepping to the plate in the sixth inning. A solo rocket to centerfield had the crowd jumping out of their seats as Moore had hit the home run that completed the cycle. 

For only the second time in College World Series history, Moore had hit for the cycle and Tennessee continued to hang around. 

Tennessee Pulls-Off The Wild Comeback In College World Series

We have seen plenty of entertaining games at the College World Series, and the backhalf of this one did not disappoint. As Florida State held on to its 11-7 lead heading into the 8th inning, the Vols got one run back, thanks to a Kavereas Tears belted one out of the park. 

But this was still a game that the Seminoles felt comfortable heading to the ninth inning, with a three-run lead, and the Vols needing a few batters to reach the top of the lineup. After a triple to center-field to start their at-bat that later led to a run, Tennessee found itself with two outs on the board and Christian Moore stepping up to the plate.

After a double from the guy that had already hit for the cycle, Tennessee had two-runners on with two outs. It was Blake Burke, the Vols first baseman who now had the opportunity to send the crowd into a frenzy. 

Then, it was Dylan Dreiling who delivered the walk-off hit that would send Tennessee into the winner's bracket, and capped off the comeback that was filed with dramatic moments.

In one of the wildest endings we've seen this season from the Vols, I guess we should not have discounted one of the hottest offenses in college baseball. 

Being down to your final out and producing four runs to win a game in the College World Series, Tennessee delivered fireworks for the opening day. 

If this is how the next week is going to play out, college baseball fans are in for a real treat.
