Below is a staff breakdown through 55 games over the last five seasons. Stat 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 W-L 51-4 45-10 48-7 48-7 47-8 ERA 1.18 2.56 2.13 2.13 1.62 Innings 344.0 339.2 334.2 358.0 363.2 K/7 IP 10.48 6.24 7.45 7.41 7.58 BB/7 IP 1.65 2.62 2.91 2.46 1.53 Opp. Avg..162.229.194.192.172 u The 2017 staff has been anchored by two-time All-American Paige Parker, but junior transfer Paige Lowary and freshman Mariah Lopez have emerged to form a powerful trio. Entering the week, OU was the only team in the country to have three pitchers who have thrown at least 87.0 IP and also have ERAs of 1.85 or better. u Parker has seen her inning total drop from 176.0 to 147.2 at this same point a year ago. The decrease in workload appears to be doing wonders for her as her ERA (1.47), strikeout rate (9.05) and walk rate (1.28) are all better than any previous season in her career.

The Sooners fell behind 3-0 after two innings but scored three runs between the fifth and sixth innings to force extras. OU then outscored the Cougars, 4-2, in the eighth. Paige Parker struck out 10 in 8.0 innings. u After battling to extra innings in the first game of a doubleheader, Oklahoma and Houston did it again in the second half of the twinbill as OU won 2-1 in eight in game two. The Sooners played in a second straight extra-inning game for the first time since April, 20-21 of 2012 against Missouri and won consecutive games that went to extra innings for the first time since March 12, 2004 against New Mexico. SOONERS SPLIT ON OPENING WEEKEND u OU opened the 2017 season by playing outside the U.S. for the first time in program history, going 2-2 at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. u In the season opener, Oklahoma s rally fell just short in a 3-2 loss to No. 2 Auburn. The game was the first ever season opener between two teams that played for the national title the year prior. Vanessa Taukeiaho hit a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to trim Auburn s lead to one, but OU would get no closer. In her OU debut, Paige THE LAST TIME OKLAHOMA...

Paige Parker gave up just one run on six hits while striking out eight and walking none. u A five-run second inning aided a group effort as three different OU pitchers combined on a 6-0 shutout of Nebraska. Mariah Lopez debuted with 3.0 scoreless innings before Lowary came on to earn the win with 2.1 innings in relief. Parker closed out the game with 1.2 hitless frames. Shay Knighten and Sydney Romero each had two RBI in the win. u Oklahoma was then shut out for the first time since the opening game of the 2016 season in a 1-0 loss to No. 13/13 Washington. Macey Hatfield had two of OU s five hits.

Needing only 1,300 games to get there, Gasso became the second fastest to reach 1,000 wins in NCAA Division I history during the 2015 season. She has won more Big 12 games (307-85) than any coach in the league s history and has twice as many wins as any other coach in OU history.

Besides the gorgeous campus, welcoming coaches and players, and the hospitable diehard Sooner fans, I chose Oklahoma because it s my home. Every camp and every visit I attended, the University of Oklahoma embraced me with open arms... I can see myself not only growing as an athlete, but as a Christian and as a person. I strive every day to be better than the last, and every day I spend at OU I see improvements in myself and the people around me. Coach Gasso says: Alissa Dalton is an infielder who is very versatile. I ve seen her play third, short and second. I ve seen her do pretty much everything. She s a left-handed hitter that can hit for power and hit through gaps. She is a tough, tough out. She is that kind of hitter that can work the count and get what she wants. I think she s definitely going to make an impact as a freshman.

I chose OU because of its amazing legacy and for the endless opportunities I will have as a Sooner. I fell in love with OU before I was even old enough to decide on a university and knew this was my destiny. I m looking forward to working hard, building great friendships and winning several national championships. I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of something so special. Coach Gasso says: Mariah Lopez is one of those athletes that has stood in championship games. She is probably one of the best pitchers in the 2016 class, if not the best. She works in a great organization with the Batbusters and has trained well. I think Mariah is going to do very well for us.

I chose the University of Oklahoma for several reasons. Not only does it have a strong focus on academics but it has an excellent softball program. But what makes Oklahoma really stand out to me and what makes me look forward to attending OU is how it will develop me as a person, help me grow as a leader and challenge me to accomplish my dreams. I believe that by attending the University of Oklahoma I will be in an environment that will help me reach my full potential as a student, as an athlete and as a person. Coach Gasso says: Nicole Mendes is another one of those versatile athletes. She s a left-handed pitcher who could throw some innings for us, but she s also a phenomenal centerfielder. She also can play first base and is a very good left-handed hitter. She s got tremendous speed and a strong arm. I think she s one of those athletes that is very few and far between because she has the ability to pitch; it s a Shelby Pendley-style. She ll help us on the mound if we need it, but she ll also be fighting for a starting spot somewhere on the field, whether it s in the infield or the outfield.

Oklahoma was my first and only un-official visit I went on. I chose to commit to OU because of the coaching staff and the success the softball program has had throughout the years... I am looking forward to competing once I hit the field my freshman year and earn my role as a starting pitcher. I want to be the best teammate and player I can be. I plan to take my classes and schoolwork seriously so I can graduate with honors. The most important thing is to graduate with a bachelor s degree in liberal arts to help me become an elementary school teacher.

Each year she s gotten better and better. She may not overpower you with her speed like Mariah (Lopez) does, but Melanie is more of a crafty pitcher who can spin it. You can never really square it up and hit it hard off of her because of her placement and the way she moves the ball. She is a good balance to what Mariah brings to the team. They are completely different, but they will complement each other very well.

The reason I chose Oklahoma is because the first time I stepped on the campus I instantly fell in love. I loved the atmosphere, and the people there are so nice. But what tied me into the program was definitely the coaching staff and the experiences the girls shared with me. I love how family-based it is, and they made me feel right at home; I instantly knew Oklahoma was the school for me after my visit. I am looking forward to growing and becoming a better athlete, as well as young lady, considering I will be on my own since my family lives back in California. I plan on leaving my mark at Oklahoma.

I ve seen her come up clutch when needed. She s played in some great organizations and developed a presence at the plate is going to always pose a threat. She can change a game with one swing of the bat. She s a hard worker and a competitor. I m really excited to have her.
