The New Orleans Zephyrs will welcome the division-leading Oklahoma City RedHawks and Ryne Sandberg's Iowa Cubs on an eight-game homestand, starting Tuesday, June 22 at 7:00 p.m.

New Orleans will be looking to return the favor against the RedHawks, who swept the Zephyrs last weekend in Oklahoma City. Sandberg, the Hall of Fame second baseman, leads his Iowa Cubs into Zephyr Field for the second time this season, as the clubs split four games in May.

The scheduled pitching matchups for the series with Oklahoma City:

Tuesday (7 pm): RH Rick VandenHurk (4-3, 5.40) vs. TBD
Wednesday (7 pm): RH Brian Lawrence (5-5, 4.28) vs. RH Tanner Scheppers (1-0, 2.36)
Thursday (7 pm): LH Wes Whisler (0-0, 6.00) vs. RH Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 2.48)
Friday (7 pm): RH Tom Mastny (1-0, 2.25) vs. LH Michael Kirkman (7-1, 3.22)

A busy weekend of promotions kicks off with $1 soda and $2 beer all night on Thirsty Thursday. Friday will be a Michael Jackson tribute, with King of Pop's biggest hits playing all night and during the postgame fireworks show on the one-year anniversary of his passing. We go from one generation's pop king to another generation's pop princess on Saturday, with a postgame concert from Mini Britney, who will be bringing Mini Gaga, Mini Beyonce and Mini Tina Turner for a special performance presented by Mike's Hard Lemonade. The first 1,000 fans for Sunday's 6:00 p.m. game will receive a 2010 Zephyrs trading card set. It is also Kids Day, so the first 500 children will receive vouchers for a free kids meal, and all kids can run the bases after the game.
