The entire game took 14 innings to finish, which is certainly more than normal baseball matches. The Tennessee Vols finally beat the Clemson Tigers 6-5 and broke their 18-game winning streak in the process.
The game was a thrilling one and it had its own share of twists and turns for the viewers. Clemson was in full control of the game courtesy of Camden Grice until Tennessee infielders Christian Moore and Blake Burke took control of the situation. Then Zane Denton stepped into the plate and scored a 3-run home run thereby turning the tide in favor of Tennessee.
Tennessee now waits for the elimination game between Clemson and Charlotte on Sunday to see who they will be facing for a chance to reach the Super Regionals in the NCAA Baseball Tournament.
Despite the game being 14 innings long, it was not really the NCAA baseball game of all time. There have been games in the past which took even more time and innings to complete than this game.
