The Tulsa Drillers will host the Arkansas Travelers (Seattle Mariners) in a six-game series at ONEOK Field in a matchup that will play a big role in determining the first-half champion in the Texas League’s North Division. It will be the next-to-last series of the first half for both teams, and it will run from Tuesday, June 11 through Sunday, June 16.

The home stand will feature two day games. The first one will be a noon start on Wednesday, June 15, and second will be the series finale on Sunday, June 16 which will begin at 1:00 p.m. The other four games will all begin at 7:00 p.m.

Springfield has occupied first place in the North Division for most of the first half, but the Travelers and Cardinals have traded places atop the standings several times over the past two weeks. The Drillers title hopes are also still alive thanks to a stretch in which they won 11 of 15 games.

The promotions lineup for the home stand will be headlined by “T” Town Clowns Weekend with the Drillers wearing special uniforms and caps that will pay tribute to Tulsa’s Negro league team during the Friday and Saturday games. There will be large, postgame Fireworks Shows following both games, and on Saturday, the first 1,500 fans will receive special “T” Town Clowns caps that feature a photo of one of the Clowns squads under the bill of the cap.

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, June 13 game will feature another great giveaway item with the first 1,000 fans receiving specially-designed Bobby Miller Strike Out Stroke Dri-Fit shirts. The former Drillers and current Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher is featured on the front in a full-color, action pose.

That is not the end of the great giveaways as on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 16, the first 500 dads will receive a Drillers golf polo. It will also be a FUNday Sunday with kids eating for free.

A complete list of promotions for the entire home stand is below.

The series will mark the second meeting this season between the two teams. The Travelers dominated the first matchup that took place in early April, winning five of the six games.

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