Landry and Lowry Fan Seven in Combined Shutout, Parker Hits Grand Slam

NORMANSam Landry and Audrey Lowry combined for seven innings of shutout softball and Ella Parker hit a grand slam in the third inning as No. 3 Oklahoma (34-3) earned a 6-0 win against UCF (23-17-1) Friday, April 4 on the second day of the Okana Invitational.

Oklahoma earned its ninth shutout victory on the season and first seven-inning shutout win since defeating No. 15/12 Arkansas, 7-0, March 15.

OU 6, UCF 0
Landry handled the fielding duties early, helping turn a double play in the first inning to strand a UCF runner in scoring position. 

The Sooners got on the board first, plating two in the bottom of the second. Cydney Sanders walked and Ailana Agbayani beat out a bunt just before Isabela Emerling lined a double through the wind in left, scoring Sanders. After a walk to Abigale Dayton, Dayton baited a throw from the UCF catcher, allowing Emerling to score from third for the 2-0 lead. 

Ella Parker made it 6-0 in the third with one swing, hitting a grand slam to left. Nelly McEnroe-Marinas walked, Kasidi Pickering singled and Gabbie Garcia put down a bunt single before her.

OU almost added a few more in the fourth as the Sooners loaded the bases for Sydney Barker with two away. Barker roped a line drive that was caught by a leaping Aubrey Evans at shortstop. 

Lowry entered with two outs in the fifth and retired all seven batters that she faced in 2.1 scoreless innings as OU won, 6-0.
