Trailing 1-0 in the best-of-three Women's College World Series final, the Auburn allowed Oklahoma to score seven runs in the first two innings in Game 2 Tuesday night - but the Tigers completed an epic comeback and forced a decisive Game 3 with two highlight-reel plays.

A pair of home runs and a Tiffany Howard triple would tie the game, but Sooners infielder Shay Knighten hit a deep fly to left field in the sixth inning that would have put Oklahoma up 9-7 if Howard didn't make a spectacular catch over the wall.
