The Tulsa Drillers are scheduled to resume pursuit of the club's first league title since 1998 when they play Game 3 of the Texas League Championship Series tonight (Friday) in San Antonio, Texas against the Missions. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
The Drillers have their first opportunity to clinch the title on Friday night, and all fans will be able to take in the action at the ONEOK Field Busch Scoreboard Bar. Game 3 will be streamed live on the numerous 55-inch TV's with Dennis Higgins calling the action from San Antonio. The Busch Scoreboard bar will feature drink specials including 24 oz domestic draft beers for only $5 each, and $8 Souvenir DrillVille Lemonade mixed drink special. In addition, select concession items will be available for purchase. The Archer Avenue gate will open at 6:30 p.m. for the Watch Party, with first pitch in San Antonio scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
If fans are unable to make it to the Watch Party, Game 3 will be broadcasted live on AM 1300 The Buzz with Dennis Higgins calling the game. If the series carries on into the weekend, Saturday and Sunday's games will be heard on AM1430 The Buzz. Fans outside of Tulsa may also listen live through the iHeart Radio app and tuning to either AM1300 or AM1430. The games will also be streamed on MiLB.tv for fans with a subscription to the service.
The Drillers defeated the Missions by way of two walk-off wins at ONEOK Field earlier this week. On Tuesday night, Game 1 went into extra innings before Keibert Ruiz delivered a game-winning single to shallow left field to score Gavin Lux from second. In Game 2 on Wednesday night, the Drillers found themselves down by a run in the bottom of the ninth. Ruiz came through again with an RBI single to tie the game. Then with two outs and the bases loaded, San Antonio uncorked a wild pitch that plated Drew Jackson for the game's winning run.
Tulsa needs one more win to end its 20-year championship drought. Spread the word, and join everyone from DrillVille on Friday night at the ONEOK Field Busch Scoreboard Bar!
