Tennessee softball lost to No. 2 seed Oklahoma on a walk-off home run to open Women's College World Series. The Lady Vols will face Florida next.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Ella Parker hit a three-run, walk-off homer to lift Oklahoma a 4-3 win over Tennessee on Thursday in the Women’s College World Series opener for both teams. Parker’s second homer of the game off Tennessee’s Karlyn Pickens came with two outs and strengthened the Sooners’ chances of winning a fifth straight national title.

Sooners ace Sam Landry had a feeling she couldn’t quite put her finger on heading into No. 2 Oklahoma’s first game Thursday against No. 7 Tennessee in the Women’s College World Series. “Something’s gonna happen,” she remembered thinking.
