Texas A&M won the first game of the CWS finals 9-4 in Omaha, Nebraska, before losing 4-1 on Sunday afternoon to force a much-needed game on Monday. The Aggies will turn to left-hander Justin Lamkin for the final game, with top relievers Josh Stewart and Evan Aschenbeck also likely available.
The Aggies held a 1-0 lead until the seventh inning Sunday, when reliever Kaiden Wilson allowed a two-run homer to Dylan Dreiling to give Tennessee a 2-1 lead. The Vols then extended their lead to 4-1 in the eighth inning after Cal Stark hit a two-run homer of his own.
The winner of Monday’s game will also make history, as both programs seek their first-ever baseball national championship.
