Oklahoma State made the score 3-0 when two runs scored on a double by junior Heather Kim. Katelyn Bright reached first base when she was hit by the first pitch of the inning, and moved up on Hamilton's second of three hits on the evening. The double by Kim scored by Bright and Castle, who reached on a fielders choice.
The Cowgirls added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Kati Phillips hit a pinch-hit single to centerfield with Breana Casaus on second base. Phillips advanced to second on the throw to home and moved over to third base when the throw was off line and went to the backstop. She then scored on a liner off the bat of Bright that bounced off UNT's pitcher.
