Parker Tabbed as Co-Player of the Week, Landry Earns Co-Pitcher of the Week Honors

NORMAN — No. 3 Oklahoma Softball was well represented in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Softball weekly awards listing as sophomore Ella Parker was tabbed as Co-SEC Softball Player of the Week and senior Sam Landry was selected as SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week as announced Monday, Feb. 17. 

It's Parker's second selection in as many weeks, while Landry picked up Oklahoma Softball's first-ever weekly pitching honor as a member of the SEC. The senior was honored as Sun Belt Pitcher of the Week seven times at Louisiana before transferring to OU prior to the 2025 season. 

Oklahoma went 4-0 at the Getterman Classic hosted by Baylor this past weekend, earning four run-rule victories. The Sooners defeated Hofstra and No. 23/24 Baylor twice apiece, moving to 10-0 on the season for the fourth time in five years. 

Ella Parker | Utility | Sophomore | Los Angeles, Calif.
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 | Right-Handed Pitcher | Senior | Mont Belvieu, Texas
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.
