Tulsa to Host Wichita in Resumption of the Propeller Series

The Tulsa Drillers will resume the Propeller Series in a six-game home stand with the Wichita Wind Surge (Minnesota Twins) that will run May 14-19 at ONEOK Field. It will be Wichita’s first visit to Tulsa in 2024 and the second meeting between the two rivals this season.

The series will feature a pair of day games with the first one taking place on Wednesday, May 15 at 12:00 p.m. The other afternoon game will be the series finale on Sunday, May 19 with a 1:00 p.m. first pitch. The other four games in the series will have standard 7:00 p.m. start times.

The Propeller Series began three seasons ago with Wichita’s return to the Texas League. Both cities are rich in aviation and are less than 200 miles apart. The Propeller Series is sponsored by Coors Light and the team that wins the season series between the two teams receives the Propeller Trophy for display in their stadium.

The Wind Surge won the inaugural series in 2021 with a victory in the final meeting of the season, but the Drillers have won the season series the past two years.

The promotions lineup for the six games will include back-to-back Fireworks Shows for the Friday and Saturday games, May 17 and 18.

The series will open with $2 Tuesday where fans can purchase Ferguson Kia Lawn and Budweiser Terrace tickets for $2 each (plus the $1 Oklahoma ticket fee). Selected concession items, including hot dogs, will be on sale for $2 each.

The Thursday game will feature a Drillers Golf Hat giveaway to the first 1,000 fans, while the Sunday afternoon game will have a James Outman Drillers jersey giveaway to the first 1,000 fans, as well as a pregame Youth Clinic.

A complete list of promotions with descriptions is below.

On the field, the two teams split a six-game series in Wichita earlier this season.

The Propeller Series will have a total of 24 games this year with 13 victories needed to clinch the series and the Propeller Trophy.

Individual tickets for all games in the series are on sale now at TulsaDrillers.com or in person at the ONEOK Field Ticket Office (201 N. Elgin Avenue).
