Monday's afternoon game between the Tulsa Drillers and Springfield Cardinals was postponed because of wet grounds at Drillers Stadium.
Grounds crews tried for 90 minutes to get the field in playing shape, but were unable to do so. The game will be rescheduled as part of a July 14th doubleubheader.
Tulsa is 4-and-1 and leads the Texas League North Division in the early going of the second half of the season.
The Drillers will be off Tuesday and Wednesday as the Texas League All-Star game will be played Wednesday night in Springfield.
Tulsa will have six representatives at the All-Star game, including three starters -- second baseman Corey Wimberly and outfielders Matt Miller and Dexter Fowler.
Infielder Tony Blanco and pitchers Adam Bright and Ryan Mattheus are also on the roster, although Mattheus will not play due to medical reasons.
Tulsa will return to action at Corpus Christi Thursday night.
