<p>SAN ANTONIO, Texas &mdash; The Wichita Wind Surge (19-19) earned a split of their six-game series with the San Antonio Missions (14-25) by rallying for a 6-3 win Sunday afternoon at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium behind timely eighth-inning offense and strong relief pitching.</p>

<p>Wichita managed just four hits but drew nine walks and capitalized on multiple San Antonio defensive miscues. Garrett Spain provided the key swing in the eighth inning, launching his 10th home run of the season to tie the game, while Andrew Cossetti followed with a go-ahead RBI double to extend his on-base streak to 10 games. Caleb Roberts also stood out, doubling and reaching base four times in the win.</p>

<p>The pitching staff delivered in several high-leverage moments. Eli Jones recovered nicely after a rocky first inning, allowing just two runs while tossing three consecutive scoreless frames. Will Fleming earned the win with two scoreless innings in relief, and Kyle Bischoff recorded his first save of the season.</p>

<p>Wichita faced former major leaguer Jhony Brito in his rehab assignment and threatened early in the first inning after Caleb Roberts doubled and Billy Amick singled, but Roberts was thrown out at the plate.</p>

<p>San Antonio took advantage of early control issues in the bottom of the first, loading the bases on two singles and a walk before plating one run on a bases-loaded free pass and another on a wild pitch. Wichita trailed 2-0 after one.</p>
