Josue De Paula shines as the Drillers win at home
Hitting his seventh home run of the month, Josue De Paula was instrumental to a Drillers win over the Sod Poodles
North Little Rock, AR - On July 22, 2026, Josue De Paula of the Tulsa Drillers proved his worth as the team secured a home victory against the Arkansas Travelers. Unable to generate substantial offense throughout the season, the Comets faced another low-scoring defeat. De Paula's powerful performance was instrumental, as he contributed half of his team's eight RBI and hit his 24th home run of the season.
This marked a significant improvement in his slugging abilities, with De Paula surpassing his previous 22 home runs in over 200 games. In addition to De Paula's stellar performance, the Tulsa Drillers displayed dominance on the field. Veteran pitcher Gavin Stone managed to evade the Comets' bats for three perfect innings before handing the game over to Christian Romero, who successfully grounded all three of the Space Cowboys' runs, two of which were unearned due to an error.
