Tulsa, Okla. (AP) -- The Tulsa Drillers return Thursday to Dickey-Stephens Park, where coach Mike Coolbaugh died just four days ago.

The Drillers open a series against the Arkansas Travelers at North Little Rock.

Coolbaugh died Sunday night after being hit in the neck by a line drive while coaching first base at the park.

It's also the same park where pitcher Jon Asahina was hit in the head by a line drive earlier this season. Asahina coached first base for much of the Drillers' first game after Coolbaugh's death when Tulsa played at Wichita.

Drillers coach Stu Cole says he's not sure what to expect but the Colorado Rockies organization is providing support to the team.
