Drillers home for nine games

6 June 2006

The Tulsa Drillers will begin an important 9-game homestand at Drillers Stadium on Tuesday, June 6. The stand will be key to the team's pennant hopes as it represents the final home games for the Drillers during the first-half of the Texas League season. The nine games will consist of a 4-game series against the Arkansas Travelers (Los Angeles Angels) from June 6-9, and a 5-game series versus the Wichita Wranglers (Kansas City Royals) from June 10-14.


The homestand will include three afternoon games. The games on Wednesday, June 7 and Wednesday, June 14 will both begin at 12:05PM. In addition, the game on Sunday, June 11 will start at 2:05PM. All other games in the homestand will begin at 7:05PM.


The nine games are filled with special promotions beginning with QuikTrip Free Ticket Night on Tuesday, June 6. Other highlights will include Christmas In June on Thursday, June 8, Fireworks on Friday, June 9 and Matt Holliday Bobbleheads and 50 Cent Hot Dogs on Saturday, June 10.

Tulsa is currently in a battle with Springfield for the first-half title in the Texas League's North Division. Following this homestand, the two teams will conclude the first-half schedule with a 4-game series at Hammons Field in Springfield.


The Drillers have enjoyed success at home this year. During their last homestand, they won six of seven games against San Antonio and Corpus Christi. On the season, Tulsa is 19-8 (.703) at Drillers Stadium.
