FRISCO, Texas (May 4, 2025)&mdash;The Wichita Wind Surge fell 6-1 to the Frisco RoughRiders in the series finale at Riders Field. The RoughRiders pulled away with four unanswered runs over the final few innings to notch their third straight win and a series split.
Keyber Rodriguez lined a comebacker that found the grass in left field in the top of the first, scoring Sebastian Walcott from second. Rodriguez would later connect on his first triple of the year out to left two innings later, once more bringing across Frisco&rsquo;s leadoff man Walcott for a 2-0 RoughRiders lead through three.

Mieses pushed in an additional two on a single to right in the last of the eighth. After a routine top of the ninth, the final score read 6-1 RoughRiders.
