DEFENSIVE GEMS: Through the last homestand, Tulsa was the Texas League's top defensive club. Individually, Darin Holcomb was the top fielding third baseman with only 11 errors in his first 101 games.

GOOD JULY: In the month of July, Drillers' pitcher combined to easily record a league best 3.10 team ERA. The next closest mark was San Anonio's 3.88 ERA. The strong pitching led to 18 wins in July, the most victories in one month by any TL team this season.

WORKING OVERTIME: The 16-inning game that Tulsa and Arkansas played at Drillers Stadium on August 2 was the longest game of the year in the Texas League. It also matched the longest game that the Drillers have played in the past eight seasons, dating back to July 3, 2001 when they defeated Shreveport 4-2.

MATCHING UP: The Drillers have a 4-2 record versus Frisco this season, but they have won only one of three meetings in Tulsa. Conversely, the Tulsa is 2-4 against Midland with a 2-1 mark at home against the RockHounds.
