(Tulsa-AP) -- It'll be the big leagues versus the minor leagues for one day next spring at Drillers' Stadium in Tulsa.

The Colorado Rockies will play an exhibition game March 30th against their new AA affiliate, the Tulsa Drillers. That will be just after the Rockies finish spring training and just before they open the season at Houston.

Rockies general manager Dan O-Dowd says the game will give Drillers' fans an introduction to their teams' new parent club.

The Rockies and Drillers announced their affiliation last month. The Drillers had been the Texas Rangers' AA team since 1977.
