<p>SPRINGDALE, Ark. (June 4, 2025)&mdash;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/ricardo-olivar-691627"><strong>Ricardo Olivar</strong></a>&nbsp;hit two home runs in a game where the Wichita Wind Surge got walked off 6-5 in 11 innings by the Northwest Arkansas Naturals at Arvest Ballpark. The Wind Surge scored four times in the top of the third, but Northwest Arkansas tied the game in the ninth and later took it in the 11th to even up the series.</p>
<p>Brett Squires connected on a three-run home run in the bottom of the first to give the Naturals a 3-0 lead after a frame.</p>
<p>Wichita responded with four runs on four hits and an error in the top of the third.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/jake-rucker-696160"><strong>Jake Rucker</strong></a>&nbsp;scored on an infield throwing error,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/kala-i-rosario-693850"><strong>Kala&rsquo;i Rosario</strong></a>&nbsp;singled to center to bring in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/kyler-fedko-693459"><strong>Kyler Fedko</strong></a>&nbsp;after an 11-pitch at-bat, and then Olivar yanked a two-run home run off the foul pole down the left field line for the 4-3 Wind Surge advantage.</p>

<p>Olivar left the yard again on a solo shot in the top of the fifth to become the fourth different Wind Surge hitter to homer multiple times in a game this season. Jordan Groshans chopped an RBI double that stayed fair inside the first base line in the home half of the fifth to make it a one-run game again.</p>
