If there was ever to be a cherry on top to winning a national championship, this ridiculous slide has to be it.
Tennessee Volunteers outfielder Hunter Ensley came charging into home with a throw that clearly beat him. Then this happened.

It’s hard to be speechless with a baserunning play, but then this happened.
At the time, it just seemed like an awesome play as the Vols went up 6-1 and looked to be strolling into the 2024 Men’s College World Series Championship in the decisive Game 3 against the Texas A&M Aggies.

In the end, that unreal slide was the difference maker, as Tennessee barely hung on to win the national championship, 6-5.
We have to imagine every “Rock Top” fan reacted like this dude in the crowd, or his teammate Zander Sechrist.
You have officially entered, the Zander Zone.

Something tells us there will be similar celebrations well into the night in Knoxville and Omaha.
