The Tennessee Volunteers baseball just brought back the first team national championship to Knoxville since 2009.
Indeed, the team’s Game 3 win in the 2024 College World Series Final on Monday sparked the school’s first team NCAA national title win for any sport in 15 years.
Per the school, the last time a Vols team won a championship was the women’s indoor track and field team in 2009, with the women’s basketball team winning back-to-back national titles in 2007 and 2008 under legend Pat Summitt.
For comparison, the men’s basketball team has never won a national championship and the football team hasn’t won one since 1998.
This is the Volunteers baseball team’s first-ever national title, making it even sweeter on Rocky Top for the national championship drought to finally end.
