College World Series 2024 live score: Tennessee vs. Texas A&M baseball updates, results, highlights from Game 2

Breathe in, and breathe out, Texas A&M fans.

Game 1 was a roller coaster for the Aggies in their first appearance in the College World Series final. What appeared to be a blowout late got interesting late as the Volunteers hit a pair of seventh-inning homers, ultimately requiring the Aggies to turn to relief ace Evan Aschenbeck to finish off the 9-5 victory.

The bullpen may have been tasked more than coach Jim Schlossnagle hoped in a game in which the Aggies led by seven runs at one point. But a win is a win, and Saturday's moved the Aggies one victory away from claiming the program's first national championship.

Taking Game 2 won't be easy, even with Texas A&M being the home team for the contest. Ace Ryan Prager and standout reliever Josh Stewart are both all but certainly unavailable. Aschenbeck threw 46 pitches in his 2.2 innings, and that could leave Schlossnagle with a decision about his availability.

On the other side, the Volunteers are similarly taxed, having used six pitchers in the losing effort. Their lineup has as much star power as any team in college baseball, but the pitching will have to step up to quiet a Texas A&M nine that is only getting better with each game it spends in Omaha.

Tennessee vs. Texas A&M live updates, highlights from College World Series final

(All times Eastern)

3:08 p.m.: Kent stays hot, blooping a 2-1 fastball into shallow right for a single. That ball had an exit velocity of 58.5 mph.

3:05 p.m. End top third: Another masterful strikeout by Cortez as he gets Ensley to chase a slider down and away for the three-pitch punchout.

3:03 p.m.: Cortez fields the comebacker back to the mound and throws to second. The toss is a bit wide of left, but Camarillo keeps the foot on the bag for the fielder's choice, though he has no chance to turn the double play.

3:01 p.m.: Amick watches 101 paint the outside edge of the zone for a called strikeout.

2:59 p.m.: Five-pitch walk to Burke leads off the top of the third for Tennessee.

2:56 p.m.: Filthy work from the likely early 2024 MLB Draft pick Beam as he strikes out the side, ending the frame with a swinging strikeout of Camarillo on a 96 mph heater.

2:55 p.m.: Make it back-to-back strikeouts as Beam drops a slider into the zone to catch Sorrell looking. He's up to four strikeouts already today.

2:53 p.m.: Beam gets Burton swinging at a breaker down and away for the strikeout.

2:49 p.m. End top second: Moore puts a filthy 101 mph fastball into play, but it's fielded for a groundout to second to end the inning. Another missed scoring opportunity for the Volunteers.

2:47 p.m.: The Aggies should be out of the inning. Instead, what looked like a groundout to short by Stark turned into a low throw that Burton couldn't scoop. Bases now loaded for Moore, Tennessee's best hitter.

2:46 p.m.: Four pitch walk to Peebles gives Tennessee runners on first and second with two out.

2:44 p.m.: Curley swings at the 3-2 slider and lifts it into center, where it's handled by Chestnut.

2:41 p.m.: Tears goes down swinging at a 99 mph fastball away for the first out.

2:38 p.m.: One inning and one batter is all Badmaev will have today. Chris Cortez is coming in to pitch for the Aggies.

2:36 p.m.: Ensley lines a base hit into center to lead off the top of the second. Back-to-back innings that the Volunteers have had a leadoff single.

2:34 p.m. End of first: Beam catches Schott looking for the strikeout to end the top of the first.

2:30 p.m.: Appel strikes out swinging at a 94 mph two-seamer.

2:29 p.m. Texas A&M scoring play: That's one way to break out of a cold spell. LaViollete crushes a fastball from Beam 415 feet into the right-field seats. That ball left the bat at 111.5 mph. And for the second straight game, a first-inning home run gives Texas A&M an early lead. Texas A&M 1, Tennessee 0

2:26 p.m.: An eight-pitch at-bat starts the bottom half of the first, ending with a pop out to second off the bat of Grahovac.

2:19 p.m. End top first: Dreiling swings and misses at a changeup from Badmaev for a strikeout to end the inning. The Volunteers went 2-for-13 with runners in scoring position in Saturday's loss, and are already starting off 0-for-1 today.

2:16 p.m.: The Volunteers start Moore from first on a 3-2 count, and he successfully steals second as Amick goes down looking at a breaker that bends right into the middle of the zone. Dreiling will come up to bat with a runner in scoring position and two out.

2:12 p.m.: Burke crushes a liner to left, but Sorrell has him played perfectly in front of the warning track to make the catch.

2:11 p.m.: Nice start for Tennessee as Moore lines a breaker from Badmaev back up the middle for a leadoff single.

2:10 p.m.: The first pitch of the game from Badmaev is a ball down and away to Moore.

2 p.m.: Just about time for Game 2. Texas A&M can win it all. Tennessee has to win to keep championship dreams alive.

1:45 p.m.: In perhaps the most important battle of the weekend, Texas A&M has surpassed Tennessee for the lead in the Jell-O Shot Challenge. The Volunteers have led for much of the challenge, but a Game 1 win appears to have helped the Aggies surge into the lead.
