The Volunteers are the first No. 1 national seed to win the NCAA championship since Miami in 1999.
Tennessee roared back to win Game 2 and the winner-take-all Game 3 of the final following a loss in the opener.
Outfielder Dylan Dreiling was named the Most Outstanding Player of the College World Series after hitting a home run in each contest versus the Aggies. He's the only player in the history of the event to accomplish the feat.
Dreiling also made the All-Tournament team along with teammates Christian Moore, Dean Curley, and Zander Sechrist.
