NORMAN, Okla.

— Postseason softball started for Oklahoma freshman pitcher Paige Parker, and she picked up right where she left off in the regular season.

Parker, a Truman High grad who throw four perfect games this season, helped combine on a no-hitter on Friday in Oklahoma’s 5-inning 8-0 victory over Central Arkansas in the NCAA softball regional in Norman.

Parker struck out two and walked one in four innings and got the win. Kelsey Stevens finished the game with two strikeouts in one inning.

Oklahoma took control early with a six-run first inning that was highlighted by a grand slam by Lea Wodach.

Oklahoma will play Texas A&M in a winners bracket game at 1:30 p.m. Saturday with the winner advancing to the championship game on Sunday.
