Live baseball returns to ONEOK Field when the Tulsa Drillers Texas Collegiate League team begins its first-ever season with a three-game homestand that will run from June 30 through July 2. Manager Tom Holliday and his squad will begin its 30-game season, presented by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, by hosting the TCL Frisco RoughRiders. All games will begin at 7:00 p.m.
The Texas Collegiate League was founded in 2004 and will enter this season with ten teams. The TCL is a wooden bat league that allows top college players with eligibility remaining to showcase and improve their skills in a wholesome, minor league-type atmosphere.
The Drillers TCL roster will include players from some of the nation’s top baseball programs including OSU, OU, ORU, USC, Florida, West Virginia, Nebraska, Kentucky and several others.
The TCL games at ONEOK Field will resemble normal minor league games with similar types of promotions. The first homestand will begin with typical Opening Night festivities on Tuesday, June 30. The following night, Wednesday, July 1, it will be Paws and $3 White Claws with fans able to bring their dogs to the game and White Claw Hard Seltzers on sale for only $3 each. The first homestand will conclude on Thursday, July 2 with a huge Independence Holiday Fireworks Spectacular.
Social-Distancing Practices will be implemented at the stadium with a reduced capacity. Attendance will be limited to approximately 1/3 of normal capacity at ONEOK Field.
Tickets for the opening homestand and all games this season are available at the stadium ticket office (918-744-5901), but fans are encouraged to buy their tickets online by clicking HERE.
