Home opener set for May 4th. Let’s play baseball. https://t.co/Y44e9XTzPY
Minor league teams didn’t play last season because of the pandemic, leaving Tulsa without a professional baseball season for the first time in nearly 70 years.
An updated minor league scheduling format intended to reduce travel means the Drillers will play the same opponents for longer home and away series.
Tulsa will open the season with six straight home games against Amarillo.
The field is flipped, prepped and ready for baseball. Only 24 hours to go. ⏲️
