Oklahoma was down 3-1 with two outs when Ella Parker stepped up to the plate in the Women's College World Series.
Ranked No. 2 and chasing a fifth consecutive championship, the Sooners would be sent to the elimination bracket with an out.
Instead, Parker powered the second pitch over the centerfield wall for a three-run walk-off homer to beat No. 7 Tennessee.
The First-Team All-American also homered in the first, and now has 15 home-runs in her sophomore season, with a remarkable .420 batting average.
Parker, the niece of Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, was one of the top recruits in the country after starring at Notre Dame High School in Los Angeles.
Speaking of LA, UCLA also won their opening game on a walk-off home-run, courtesy of transfer Jessica Clements in her first ever WCWS game.
The Sooners face arch-rival No. 6 Texas on May 31.
