Sophia Nugent wasn't missing out on another home run in the NCAA regional.

The senior catcher hit a moonshot to left field that went just foul against Ohio State the day before, and Nugent was ready to finish the job in the regional final rematch with the Buckeyes. With a 1-1 count in the top of the sixth inning, she swung and sent the ball flying to left field.
