Ella Parker hits two homers as Oklahoma run-rules Tulsa ahead of first SEC series

Five-homer night ends early as Sooners close non-conference play at Love’s Field

Oklahoma finished its non-conference schedule with a 12-1, five-inning win over Tulsa on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at Love’s Field in Norman. Infielder Ella Parker hit two home runs as the Sooners ended the game by run rule, continuing a stretch in which Oklahoma has frequently shortened games with early offensive separation.

The result left Oklahoma at 24-2 overall, extending a 14-game winning streak. Tulsa scored once in the second inning and was otherwise held in check as Oklahoma’s offense built a lead that reached run-rule territory by the middle innings.

Parker’s two blasts punctuate a first-to-third inning surge

Oklahoma scored in every inning it batted in the five-inning contest, with the long ball serving as the defining feature. The Sooners hit five home runs, a total that pushed their season home-run count to 108 through 26 games and maintained their national lead in that category at the time of the game.

• Oklahoma opened the scoring in the first inning and quickly expanded the margin with a three-run home run from Gabbie Garcia and a two-run homer from Ailana Agbayani.

• Tulsa’s lone run came in the second inning on a two-out single by Madison Garcia.

• Parker answered in the second with a two-run home run, then added a three-run shot in the third to turn the game into a lopsided, early-ending matchup.

Parker’s second homer was recorded as Oklahoma’s 107th of the season and tied the program’s 2015 team for seventh-most home runs in a single season. The two-homer game was Parker’s fourth multi-home run performance of the 2026 season.

Context: momentum and schedule timing as SEC play approaches

The Tulsa game served as Oklahoma’s final tune-up before conference play. Oklahoma is scheduled to open SEC play at home with a three-game series against Auburn from March 13-15 at Love’s Field.

Beyond the headline power numbers, the Tulsa result fit a broader trend for Oklahoma this season: the ability to convert early base traffic into multi-run innings and to apply continuous pressure with extra-base hits. Entering SEC action, Oklahoma had also remained unbeaten at home, improving to 11-0 in Norman.

Game summary: Oklahoma 12, Tulsa 1 (5 innings) — five Oklahoma home runs; Ella Parker homered twice.

With conference play set to begin two days later, Oklahoma leaves its non-conference slate with a win that reinforced two defining facts of its 2026 profile: a lineup built to score in bunches and a recent run of games decided well before the final inning.
