Pair of Oklahoma Sooners earn SEC Weekly Honors
After a run-rule weekend, a pair of Oklahoma Sooners earned weekly honors from the SEC. Ella Parker picked up her second-straight SEC Player of the Week award, and Sam Landry was named SEC Pitcher of the Week.
Parker was once again fantastic for the Sooners, hitting an incredible .750 with two doubles, two home runs, and six RBIs. She got a hit in each of the Sooners' opening at-bats to help set the tone offensively. Parker leads the Sooners with a .647 batting average and is tied for the team lead with three home runs and 14 RBIs.
Landry started just one game for the Sooners, wrapping up Oklahoma's time in Waco with a five-inning perfect game where she recorded eight strikeouts and didn't allow a fly ball in the win. Landry, a transfer from Louisiana, never reached a three-ball count and only faced a two-ball count four times in 15 at-bats. Landry's perfect game is just the second against a ranked opponent in Oklahoma Softball history. She's 3-0 on the season and has thrown 15.1 scoreless innings since her first start against San Diego State.
The Oklahoma Sooners are 10-0 on the season and have five run-rule wins to start the season. Now they get set to host Abilene Christian, Wichita State, Bowling Green, and Tulsa for the Norman Tournament.

Two Oklahoma softball players named to WCWS All-Tournament team
Two Oklahoma softball players named to WCWS All-Tournament team Sam and Ella. The two names go together like peanut butter and jelly. A fun coincidence, then, that Oklahoma pitcher Sam Landry and Sooners designated player Ella Parker were the two OU softball players named to the Women's College World Series All-Tournament team over the weekend. Oklahoma fell in the WCWS to eventual runner-up Texas Tech in the penultimate series of the tourney, carried there in large part by its ace pitcher and its best hitter. Parker went 7 for 17 in Oklahoma City with two home runs and four RBI. Her three-run walk-off homer in the Sooners' first WCWS game against Tennessee kept OU in the winner's bracket, eventually leading to an elimination of Oregon. Landry pitched in all four of Oklahoma's games in the tournament. She allowed seven runs over 24 innings while striking out 16 batters. In her 4 1/3 innings of relief against the Ducks, she gave up just three base-runners as the Sooners rallied to win. Oklahoma coach Patty Gasso expects to get Parker, a rising junior, back for another year in Norman, though Landry was selected No. 1 overall in the inaugural Athletes Unlimited Softball League draft. She signed a couple days after the Sooners were eliminated from the tournament.

Oklahoma Sooners add former LSU pitcher Sydney Berzon via transfer portal
Oklahoma Sooners add former LSU pitcher Sydney Berzon via transfer portal The Oklahoma Sooners have made their first splash in the 2025 softball transfer portal window with the addition of LSU ace pitcher Sydney Berzon. Berzon announced her commitment via Instagram. Berzon was 18-8 in 2025 with a 2.46 ERA in 30 appearances for the Tigers. She threw 139.1 innings and allowed an opponents batting average of .228. She threw six complete games, including a 199-pitch outing back in May. Berzon recorded 104 strikeouts to just 44 walks on the season. Berzon provides the Sooners with a veteran arm with a lot of experience. She appeared in 100 games in her three seasons in Baton Rouge, compiling a 52-25 record with a career ERA of 2.02 and 3.2 strikeouts to walks during her career. She was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2025, helping guide the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament. She threw a complete game shutout in an elimination game against UCONN, where she allowed five hits and two walks over seven innings in a 3-0 win. Berzon only threw one other inning in the Baton Rouge regional, coming in for 1.1 and allowing one earned run in a game the Tigers allowed five unearned runs on three errors. With the departure of Sam Landry, the Oklahoma Sooners didn't have a pitcher projected to be on the roster with more than 100 innings pitched in a season at the collegiate level. She'll have just one more season of eligibility in 2026. Oklahoma Sooners Projected Pitching Staff Sydney Berzon, Senior Kierston Deal, Senior Peytn Monticelli, Senior Audrey Lowry, Sophomore Allyssa Parker, True Freshman (No. 1 pitcher in 2025 recruiting class) Berkley Zache, True Freshman (No. 5 pitcher in 2025 recruiting class) Contact/Follow us @SoonersWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Oklahoma news, notes, and opinions.
