Homestand Highlights: Sod Poodles Host Tulsa Drillers May 2025

AMARILLO, TX (May 7, 2025) – The Amarillo Sod Poodles will host the Tulsa Drillers (Double-A, Los Angeles Dodgers) for the upcoming home series. The Sod Poodles are coming off a second straight series win where they bested the Midland RockHounds (Double-A, Athletics). Dylan Ray earned Texas League Pitcher of the Week honors for his dominant start on the mound in their Saturday night shutout win and Jose Fernandez continued to stay hot at the plate, extending his hitting streak to eight games on Sunday afternoon.

Following the postponement of Tuesday morning’s action, the homestand will proceed as scheduled on Wednesday night to kick off play against the visiting Tulsa Drillers. Both the Calf Fries and the Pointy Boots return to HODGETOWN this week with the festivities highlighted by County Fair Night on Saturday. In addition to the typical Fireworks Friday, County Fair Night will feature a fireworks display as well. Capping the weekend on Mother’s Day, gates will open early for a team autograph session before the series finale, allowing fans to get the signatures of their favorite Sod Poodles.

All single-game tickets for this homestand along with the rest of the 2025 regular season are on sale at the HODGETOWN Box Office or online at www.sodpoodles.com/tickets.
