NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- The Tulsa Drillers lost Thursday night in a game played on the same field where Drillers coach Mike Coolbaugh died four days earlier.

Arkansas' Cody Fuller hit a three-run homer and drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded squeeze bunt in the 12th inning to lead the Travelers to a 7-to-6 win over Tulsa in North Little Rock.

The game was the first between the two teams since Coolbaugh died Sunday night after being hit by a hard-hit line drive off the bat of Tino Sanchez.

Fans at Dickey-Stephens Park in North Little Rock stood and applauded as the Drillers took the field for the bottom of the first inning.

The Drillers broke a 5-all tie in the ninth inning to take a 6-to-5 lead, but the Travelers scored a run of their own in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extra innings.
