Metairie, LA - The New Orleans Zephyrs return to Zephyr Field on Monday to begin a four-game homestand against the division-leading Oklahoma RedHawks at 7:00 p.m.

The Zephyrs currently sit in third place in the Pacific Coast League American South Division, 7.5 games behind the RedHawks. The Zephyrs won three out of four games during Oklahoma's last visit to New Orleans at the start of June.

Center fielder Jesus Feliciano entered the weekend series in Memphis having hit safely in each of his last 10 starts, batting .341 with nine RBI in that span. The hot hitting earned Feliciano a spot at the top of the Zephyrs' lineup as the team's leadoff man.

The series pitching probables are as follows:

Monday 7 p.m. vs. Oklahoma: RH Brandon Knight (2-0) vs. RH Elizardo Ramirez (6-3) 
Tuesday 7 p.m. vs. Oklahoma: RH Ruddy Lugo (5-7) vs. TBA 
Wednesday 7 p.m. vs. Oklahoma: RH Brian Stokes (7-7) vs. TBA 
Thursday 7 p.m. vs. Oklahoma: RH Nelson Figueroa (3-2) vs. LH Matt Harrison (3-1)

Fans can receive two tickets for the price of one with the donation of two canned goods on Two Can Tuesday, and all hot dogs will be only $1 on Weenie Wednesday. Arrive early to celebrate the National Pastime on Thursday as the Zephyrs will be giving away "Vote Boudreaux" campaign T-shirts, and the series will be punctuated by the annual Independence Day fireworks show and a postgame concert featuring the Bucktown All-Stars.

For more information and to purchase tickets, please call the Zephyrs at (504) 734-5155.
