Texas A&M rolls into first MCWS finals, gets No. 1 Tennessee - ESPN

OMAHA, Neb. — Justin Lamkin gave Texas A&M a second straight sensational start, Caden Sorrell homered to break open the game, and the Aggies beat Florida 6-0 on Wednesday night to reach their first Men's College World Series finals.

The Aggies (52-13) will play No. 1 national seed Tennessee (58-12) in the best-of-three championship series starting Saturday. It will be an all-SEC final for the second straight year and third time in four.

Aggies coach Jim Schlossnagle, who lost starter Shane Sdao to an arm injury in the super regionals, turned to Lamkin for a second matchup with the Gators in Omaha. Lamkin was sharp in a 42-pitch, three-inning outing in Saturday's MCWS opener and had no problem coming back off three days' rest.

In fact, Lamkin was even better Wednesday, holding the Gators scoreless through five innings and striking out nine. He worked out of a bases-loaded situation in the third and pitched three-up, three-down innings in the fourth and fifth before turning the game over to the bullpen.

National Stopper of the Year Evan Aschenbeck came on after Jac Caglianone singled to lead off the eighth. The Gators had two men on with no outs, but the Aggies escaped again as Tyler Shelnut and Colby Shelton flew out and Luke Heyman struck out for the fourth time. Aschenbeck worked around a walk in the ninth, with the game ending on a double play.

There was a scary moment in the top of the ninth when Florida right fielder Ashton
