Tulsa Beats Midland in Round 2 Monday, September 29th , 2025 Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better. It was the latter case in 2025, as the Tulsa Drillers topped the Midland RockHounds 8-7 tonight at ONEOK Field to win the Round 2. It was the 1st title in franchise history. "When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Tulsa third baseman Sal Stewart, who was named series MVP. The Drillers took the series 3-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a third-place finish in the North Division and a 72-68 record. Tulsa manager grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Stewart's words. "Sal said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said. Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come. |
