Whew, what a game at the College World Series!
Tennessee and Florida State went back and forth on Friday night, trading leads late into the game, and thanks to Christian Moore's cycle, the Volunteers emerged victorious.
But there was some controversy! With Tennessee's Blake Burke up and a 2-2 count on him, Burke checked his swing, and the third base umpire confirmed that was the case.
But the replay shows it was ... questionable at best. It really looked like he offered. Then, Burke tied the game at 11. Tennessee went on to win, and FSU manager Link Jarrett didn't go too hard on the umpire for the call, as you'll see below:
