Tulsa Roster Set For Exhibition

The Tulsa Drillers will host their parent club, the Colorado Rockies, in an exhibition game at ONEOK Field Wednesday. The Tulsa roster for the game has now been set. The Drillers will have 25 players available for the contest.

The roster includes first baseman Ben Paulsen, who spent most of spring training in the major league camp, finishing second on the Rockies with 11 runs batted in.

The roster lists 12 players that have played for the Drillers previously, including pitchers Cory Riordan, Christian Friedrich, Sean Jarrett, Adam Jorgenson, Chris Malone and Casey Weathers.

Third baseman Darin Holcomb is also part of that group. Holcomb was Tulsa's starting third baseman in 2009 before missing all of last season with a back injury.
