Transcript Staff AUSTIN, Texas — No more Cat Osterman, no more problems for Oklahoma against the Texas Longhorns. Texas’ superstar hurler graduated last year after four seasons of domination over the Sooners. What a difference a year makes. The last time OU and Texas met, Osterman no-hit the Sooners at Marita Hynes Field. Saturday, it went the other way in a 7-0 OU victory that improved the No. 3 Sooners to 36-2 on the season and 3-0 in Big 12 play. While Lauren Eckermann didn’t no-hit the Longhorns, she improved her record to 21-0 while allowing four hits in the complete game. It was Eckermann’s eighth shutout of the year, and her earned run average improved to 1.28. “Lauren did a good job of establishing a good mound presence early in the game,” OU coach Patty Gasso said. “She was ahead of hitters the whole game and never really allowed them to threaten.” The Longhorns, ranked No. 10, couldn’t stop the OU hitters. The Sooners combined for 11 hits and got home runs from Traci Dickenson and Susan Ogden. The duo combined for five of OU’s hits and six RBIs. Norrelle Dickson and Mariee Mena each added two hits. Dickson moved within one hit of Kristin Vesely for the Sooner career record. “I really liked how Norrelle came out and set the tone for us offensively in the first inning,” Gasso said. “We needed to do a better job executing in the first couple innings, but Traci Dickenson’s home run to give us the lead allowed us to exhale a little.
