Tulsa Drillers News Release
Thursday night's scheduled game between the Tulsa Drillers and Midland RockHounds was rained out. A mixture of high winds and torrential rain has suspended the game until Friday. Having not received measurable amount of rain in over 300 days has attributed to the RockHounds first doubleheader of the year.
The contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Friday at Citibank Ballpark. It will feature a pair of scheduled 7-inning games with the first game starting at 5:05PM.
The pitching matchups for the doubleheader will feature Cory Riordan (1-11, 5.54) for Tulsa in game one against Anthony Capra (1-4, 6.07) for Midland. The Drillers will send Joe Gardner (0-1, 5.68), who will be making his second start with his new club, as the RockHounds have yet to determine a starter for the night cap.
