Drillers Host San Antonio Missions To Open 2023 Season

Minor League Baseball returns to Downtown Tulsa on Thursday night.

Scott Hennessey will open his sixth season as manager when the Drillers kick off their season at home against the San Antonio Missions.

The new season comes just as Major League Baseball struck a deal with minor leaguers on a collective bargaining agreement that will more than double player salary.

"The guys don't have to worry about maybe getting a full-time job in the offseason. They can train more. Before they had to maybe get a part-time job or even a full-time job just to make ends meet and I don't think they're gonna have to do that now," aid Hennessey.

Thursday night's game starts at 7 p.m. at OneOk field and tickets are still available.
