Patty Gasso vs. Jim Gasso a fun night for OU softball

When the OU fall softball schedule was released, everybody pointed toward Friday night. Patty Gasso vs. Jim Gasso.

OU vs. Mid-America Christian in the Gasso Bowl. A fall ball record crowd of 2,763 in attendance on a beautiful night for softball.

And the duo clearly enjoyed the evening. Then it was time to work, and OU did just that. A 10-run fifth inning highlighted a 15-0 victory in the first five innings. It ended 17-0 in nine innings.

It was a combined perfect game between OU pitchers Audrey Lowry, Paytn Monticelli and Kierston Deal in the five innings.

Lowry went the initial three innings and struck out four. Monticelli struck out the side in her one frame. And then Deal added two more strikeouts in the fifth.

Deal finally allowed runners in the sixth, bases loaded and zero outs. However, the OU defense was able to keep MACU off the scoreboard with a fielder’s choice at the plate and then a diving double play to wrap up the frame.

Sam Landry closed out the show, throwing the final 2.2 innings. She allowed one hit, walked two and struck out six.

Maya Bland went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run and a stolen base. Nelly McEnroe-Marinas continued her incredible fall with her fourth homer of the fall season. Sydney Barker also added a solo home run.
