It will be the first meetings of the season between the two Texas League rivals and thus the beginning of this year's Coors Light Propeller Series. The Propeller Series is conducted each year with the winner of the season series between the two clubs receiving the Coors Light Propeller Trophy to display for the year.

The first 2,000 fans for the 1:00 p.m. game of the doubleheader will receive Drillers hoodies. A large Fireworks Show will follow the 6:00 p.m. game.
Other promotions in the home stand will include $2 Tuesday and Jackie Robinson Day on April 15.
