This about to become a weekly thing for OU sophomore Ella Parker? For the second straight week, and only two weeks possible, Parker has once again an SEC weekly honor.

However, she’s not alone. Pitcher Sam Landry joins Parker for OU players getting honored by the SEC for their performances.

Parker was named SEC Co-Player of the Week for the second time in a row. Landry, because of her five-inning perfect game, is the SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week.

It was a great weekend for Patty Gasso and company. Four games, four wins, four run-rules, as the Sooners really flexed their muscle in Waco against Baylor and Hofstra.

Now? Time to come home, well, maybe. Weather permitting, of course, as it’s going to be record-breaking cold the first part of the homestand.

OU is schedule to open Love’s Field for 2025 on Thursday-Sunday. But games for Thursday and Friday look iffy, at best.

Ella Parker Week

Parker was all over opposing pitching, hitting .750 (9-for-12) with nine runs, six RBIs, two doubles, two home runs and a walk. She homered twice against Hofstra in an 8-0 win and hit safely in all four games, posting three multi-hit performances. 

The sophomore is leading the SEC in batting average (.647) as well as hits (22) and doubles (7). Parker is riding a 10-game hitting streak, while also having scored in nine of 10 games. 

Sam Landry Week

Landry locked down Baylor with 5.1 perfect innings across two appearances in OU’s perfect weekend. The righty twirled a five-inning perfect game in an 8-0 win against No. 23/24 Baylor, while retiring the only batter she faced in game one against the Bears. 

The senior struck out eight and needed only 61 pitches across the two games. She fired 42 strikes in 56 pitches to the plate in her perfect game, which was the 23rd perfect game in program history and the second this season. 

Landry is 2-0 with a 1.72 earned run average and 31 strikeouts in 20.1 innings. She has only allowed 14 hits and two walks in five appearances.
