WICHITA, KS– Wichita battled back from an 8-1 deficit, but could not find the tying run as they fall to the Springfield Cardinals in the series finale, 8-7 Sunday afternoon at Riverfront Stadium.
It looked as though the Cardinals would cruise for the rest of the afternoon after building an 8-1 lead on the Wind Surge heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. However, the Surge pounded six runs on four home runs in two innings to cut the Cardinal lead to just 1. Wichita did all they could to put themselves in a position to extend the game, but the seven run lead was too much to overcome.
Wichita will begin a two week road trip starting on Tuesday down in Texas. The Wind Surge will square off against the Midland RockHounds first for a six game series. First pitch on Tuesday night is set for 6:30 p.m. from Midland, Texas.
