Oklahoma thought it had the Women’s College World Series wrapped up on Tuesday night, but it’s funny how things work out. Auburn scored 11 unanswered runs to win Game 2, and the Sooners had a win-or-go home Game 3 on their hands.

The rest is history. Paige Parker was her brilliant self, allowing just one run in seven innings, and Oklahoma captured the national title. Their celebration? Sheer bliss.

See it for yourself:

Congratulations to the Sooners, who won their second national title in four years.

Joe Boozell has been a college basketball writer for NCAA.com since 2015. His work has also appeared in Bleacher Report, FOXSports.com and NBA.com. Joe’s claim to fame since joining NCAA.com: he’s predicted the correct national championship game twice… and picked the wrong winner both times. Growing up, Joe squared off against both Anthony Davis and Frank Kaminsky in the Chicagoland basketball scene. You can imagine how that went.
