Virginia has certainly demonstrated that it is resilient as the Cavaliers have had to fight and claw their way to the College World Series. The Cavaliers lost the first game of the Columbia Regional, falling to South Carolina 4-3. They then turned around and beat Jacksonville 13-8, South Carolina 3-2, and then the top seed, Old Dominion 8-3 and then 4-3 in 10 innings.

From there, Virginia faced the Dallas Baptist Patriots and dropped the first game, losing 6-5. But, the Cavaliers bounced back and beat the Patriots in the next two games, winning 4-0 and then 5-2 to eliminate DBU.

The Volunteers haven’t struggled like Virginia has this postseason. Sure, there have been a couple close games, but Tennessee has an unblemished record in the NCAA Baseball Tournament so far. The Vols beat Wright State 9-8 in a game that was closer than many fans would’ve appreciated, but then beat Liberty 9-3 and 3-1 to win the Knoxville Regional.

Then against the LSU Tigers in the Knoxville Super Regional, Tennessee continued to thrive. The Vols beat the Tigers 4-2 in game 1 and then sent Paul Mainieri into retirement by beating LSU 15-6 in game 2.
