OMAHA, Neb. — Tennessee second baseman Christian Moore said he is "one hundred percent" going to play second base for game three of the College World Series against Texas A&M on Monday night in Omaha.
Moore appeared to hurt himself taking second base on a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. After the Vols' 4-1 victory, Moore said he just cramped up running the bases.
"I'm a little banged up, but I'll be good to go tomorrow," Moore said.
Moore exited the game in the ninth inning, and Ariel Antigua took his spot at second base. Moore previously was a designated hitter in Tennessee's Super Regional matchup against Evansville after he felt soreness in his leg, but Moore insisted he would be good to go on both offense and defense in a game three that would decide Tennessee's national championship fate.
The Vols will take on Texas A&M in game three on Monday night at Charles Schwab Field. That game will begin at 7 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. CDT and will be broadcast on ESPN.
