Ella Parker’s hot start this season has received some pretty high praise from OU coach Patty Gasso.
“She’s on like an Alo look with her at the plate,” Gasso said this week, relating Parker’s start to the otherworldly performances of Sooners legend Jocelyn Alo.
It’s hard to argue with Gasso right now.
Through the second-ranked Sooners’ first 10 games of the season, Parker is hitting .647 with 22 hits, seven doubles, three home runs, 14 RBIs and six walks.
She’s struck out just once in 34 at-bats and has at least one hit in every game and multiple hits in all but two.
Parker will try to continue her hot streak this weekend when OU hosts the Norman Tournament beginning Saturday at Love’s Field.
The Sooners take on Tulsa at 3 p.m. Saturday, Wichita State at 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Bowling Green at 11 a.m. Monday followed by Abilene Christian at approximately 2 p.m.
The second-ranked OU softball team pulled off another run-rule sweep Friday, opening the Oklahoma Omni Classic with a pair of 9-1 wins, first over Marshall and then over Kansas at Love’s Field.
The Sooners have won nine games this season so far by run rule.
In the opener, Kasidi Pickering drove in four runs in four different innings including a walk-off RBI single in the fifth to give OU the win over Marshall.
In the second game, the Sooners scored four each in the third and fourth before adding a single run in the sixth to end it.
