<p>SAN ANTONIO, Texas &mdash; The Wichita Wind Surge (16-17) dropped game one of their six-game series against the San Antonio Missions (12-22), 8-3, Tuesday night at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium as San Antonio&rsquo;s explosive first two innings, highlighted by four home runs, proved too much to overcome.</p>

<p>San Antonio wasted no time offensively in the bottom of the first. Ethan Salas, younger brother of Wind Surge infielder Jose Salas, launched a two-run homer to right field to open the scoring. The Missions continued their offensive barrage with four consecutive extra-base hits, including back-to-back doubles followed by back-to-back home runs. Wichita trailed 6-0 after one inning.</p>
