WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ C.J. Wilson allowed only three hits and pitched a complete game to lead Tulsa to a 2-1 victory over Wichita and a sweep of the Texas League's Eastern Division playoff series on Thursday.

The Drillers will meet the Western Division champion for the title next week. Round Rock beat San Antonio 7-0 Thursday to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-5 series.

The only run scored against Wilson came in the fourth inning when Tydus Meadows scored on Juan Brito's bunt down the third base line.

In the next inning, RBIs by Drew Meyer and Brett Cadiente put the Drillers in front 2-1, and Wilson kept the Wranglers hitless until the ninth inning, when he walked Meadows.

Wilson struck out the remaining two batters.

Thursday's win gave Tulsa its first division title since 1999. The Drillers lost the last nine games of the regular season before sweeping the Wranglers, who had the best record in the Texas League this season.

The Drillers will host the first three games of the championship series beginning Monday night.
