Tulsa defeated Midland 5-3 and took a 1-0 lead in the Texas League Championship Series.
Drew Jackson drove in two with his second inning triple and he later scored. In the sixth inning, Jackson’s fielder’s choice drove in a key insurance run.
The Drillers took a nine hour bus ride to Midland on Monday and then went on to defeat the RockHounds (Athletics) 5-3 on Tuesday night.
The win gave the Drillers the 1-0 series lead and should give them some momentum when they face former Dodger prospect right-handed pitcher Grant Holmes tonight.
