Tennessee Volunteers baserunner Hunter Ensley made an acrobatic slide late in the College World Series to push the team's lead to five runs. It turned out the team needed that score.
The Tennessee Volunteers won the Men’s College World Series against Texas A&M on Monday night, 6-5, and a play at the plate appeared to be the difference-maker in the end. Kavares Tears doubled to deep right center field in the bottom of the seventh inning. Baserunner Hunter Ensley came around to score and made an acrobatic move to avoid the tag attempt made by Aggies catcher Jackson Appel.
Appel caught the throw at the plate well before Ensley was even close to scoring. However, the Volunteers baserunner shifted to his left as he dove for home and Appel, somehow, missed him. The slide quickly went viral, and it turned out to be a huge play. While Ensley’s run pushed the Vols’ lead to 6-1, Tennessee allowed four runs between the eighth and ninth innings to add some extra pressure onto their shoulders as they closed out the win.
Tennessee pitcher Aaron Combs struck out infielder Ted Burton to end the game and the celebration began. ' peeked in, saw that it stayed in. It took a really good bounce right to LaViolette. When I saw that I knew I had to get on my horse,' Ensley said of the slide, via Knox News. 'Dean was pretty much telling me outside, outside, outside. And the throw actually ended up carrying the guy to the outside.
