ESPN recently released the ratings for the 2016 Women’s College World Series between the Auburn Tigers and the Oklahoma Sooners — and fans of Auburn weren’t the only ones in the country tuning in.

This year’s championship series amassed 1.34 million viewers, making it the second-most watched WCWS finals since 2009 — trailing only last year’s matchup between Florida and Michigan, which was the most-watched WCWS final ever.

In Game 1 (1.031 million viewers) Oklahoma’s Sydney Romero’s three-run homer gave the Sooners an early 3-0 lead at the bottom of the third inning. Oklahoma was able to hold off Auburn’s seventh inning rally to hold on for a 3-2 win.

The Tigers dug themselves into a 7-0 hole early in the second inning of Game 2 (1.43 million viewers), but responded with 11 unanswered runs to force a winner-takes-all Game 3 in Oklahoma City. It was the largest comeback in WCWS finals history. It also tied for Auburn’s biggest comeback during the 2016 season.

And in Game 3 (1.47 million viewers), costly mistakes spotted the Sooners two early runs, and that’s all Oklahoma needed to secure its third national championship in school history and first since 2013. The 1.47 million viewers led cable sports TV ratings on that day.
