A country music star wasn't happy on Friday night with a key call during the Tennessee Vols' thrilling walk-off win against the Florida State Seminoles on the first day of the College World Series. 

Singer Brian Kelley, a Florida native who is one half of the music group "Florida Georgia Line", played college baseball at Florida State, so he was understandably rooting for the Seminoles on Friday night. 

And Kelley took exception to a check-swing call on Tennessee first baseman Blake Burke that would've ended the game. Instead of a game-ending strike, the count went to 3-2. Burke capitalized on the next pitch, tying the game with a two-run single to center field. 

Kelley thought Burke went on the check swing and should've been called out on strikes, which would've resulted in an 11-9 Florida State win.

That's definitely a call that could've gone either way. Unfortunately for Florida State, it went Tennessee's way. 

And fortunately for the Vols, they were able to take advantage and secure the walk-off win. 

Tennessee will play North Carolina at 7:00 PM ET on Sunday in Omaha.
