Game 2 of the 2024 College World Series will take place on Sunday afternoon between the Texas A&M Aggies and the Tennessee Volunteers. The Aggies secured a 9-5 win in the first game of the best-of-three series and are in the driver's seat. If Texas A&M wins today, it will clinch the national championship, while Tennessee needs to win to force a winner-takes-all Game 3 on Monday evening.
Texas A&M is expected to send sophomore righty Justin Lamkin (3-2, 5.00 ERA) to the mound on short rest as he last pitched on Wednesday against the Florida Gators. Lamkin secured the win by throwing five shutout innings, allowing just three hits with a walk and nine strikeouts.
Tennessee is expected to have junior right-hander Drew Beam (9-2, 4.30 ERA) and is coming off a win against the North Carolina Tar Heels. Beam gave up one run on four hits with a pair of walks and seven strikeouts in five innings in the win.

Texas A&M vs. Tennessee Prediction
The Tennessee Volunteers have to win to keep their season alive, and there is a reason to feel comfortable with the Vols in this game. The Aggies used Evan Aschenbeck for 2.2 innings as he threw 56 pitches, meaning he is almost certainly ruled out for today's action and could be on an extremely limited basis in Game 3.
It seems like Texas A&M is going all-in for today's game, but this Tennessee lineup will get going. The combination of Chris Stamos and AJ Causey has been struggling, and this will be a completely different contest than yesterday. Expect to see the bottom of the order get better as the last three hitters finished just 2 for 10. Go with the Tennessee Volunteers to extend this series to Game 3.
