Oklahoma hadn't logged a hit in over three innings when Nelly McEnroe-Marinas stepped to the plate.
McEnroe-Marinas, who hit a single in the first inning to extend her hitting streak to 10 games, had Abigale Dayton on base. McEnroe-Marinas blasted a two-run bomb to left field, extending the Sooners' lead to 5-0 over Missouri. After Kasidi Pickering and Gabbie Garcia each reached with singles, Ella Parker blasted a three-run home run to right centerfield.
All of a sudden, the offense had scored five runs on five consecutive hits, putting the Sooners into run-rule territory.
