NORMAN — With three straight appearances in the Women's College World Series, Paige Parker knows all about high-pressure situations.
But perhaps the most crucial two outs of the senior pitcher's career came in Wednesday night's 8-0 win against Oklahoma State.
OU held an 8-0 lead in the top of the fifth inning, just two outs from run-ruling the Cowgirls when the first lightning strike was spotted at Marita Hynes Field.
After a 30-minute stadium evacuation, the No. 3 Sooners (45-3, 16-0 Big 12) sprinted back out on the field to capitalize on the brief window of calm weather.
