Following an extended, two-week road trip, the Tulsa Drillers will return to ONEOK Field on Tuesday, July 30 to open a six-game home stand with the Springfield Cardinals (St. Louis Cardinals). The series will run for six consecutive days, through Sunday August 4. It is the second and final regular season visit to Tulsa this year for the Cardinals.
The first five games in the set will all begin at 7:00 p.m. The series finale on Sunday, August 4 will be an afternoon game starting at 1:00 p.m.
The six games are filled with great promotions, starting with $2 Tuesday for the opener on July 30. Wednesday, July 31 will be Bark-in-the-Park and $3 White Claws, followed by Triple Play Thursday and a Tulsa Noodlers Sling Can Cooler giveaway on August 1.
The weekend will begin with Friday Night Fireworks and a Tess Maune Noodlers Bobblehead on August 2. Saturday, August 3 will be Back-to-School Night with the first 1,000 kids 14 and under receiving Drillers Backpacks.
The home stand will conclude with FUNday Sunday on August 4. Kids will eat for free and be able to play catch on the field. It will also be the makeup of our Cinco de Mayo promotion that was rained out earlier this season. The first 500 fans will receive Drillers Sombreros, and everyone will be able to enjoy discounted street tacos and margaritas.
The entire list of promotions for the home stand, with complete details, is below.
The series with the Cardinals will likely play an important role in help setting the playoff matchups in the Texas League. Springfield won the first-half title in the TL’s North Division and has clinched its postseason berth. The Drillers are hoping to claim the second-half, North Division spot which would set up a playoff meeting between the two teams in September.
The Redbirds currently hold a 7-5 advantage in this year’s season series.
Individual tickets for all games with the Cardinals are now on sale at TulsaDrillers.com or in person at the ONEOK Field Ticket Office (201 N. Elgin Avenue).
