Tennessee Vols open College World Series with walk-off win over FSU

The Tennessee Vols probably heard about the support from The Volunteer Club as they opened their College World Series campaign with a bang. The Vols came back from a four-run deficit to hand the Florida State Seminoles a 12-11 defeat.

The Seminoles led most of the game, with Tennessee seemingly chasing a lost cause. However, Tony Vitello's side showed why they're the highest-seeded side in the College World Series.

In the last sequence of the game, Tennessee lined a ball into the gap, walking off Florida State by scoring four runs in the final frame. The Vols made an improbable comeback and started their CWS campaign with a statement win.

As for the Seminoles, they'll need to pick themselves up despite the heartbreaking loss. They're now 9-15 all-time in the College World Series opening game. Their next game is against the Virginia Cavaliers in an elimination game at 2:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
