MIDLAND, Texas (August 24, 2025)&mdash;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/harry-genth-702025">Harry Genth</a>&nbsp;hit his first professional home run in a 6-2 loss for the Wichita Wind Surge against the Midland RockHounds at Momentum Bank Ballpark. The loss gives the Wind Surge a split series with Midland and a 6-6 overall finish on the 12-game road trip.
Midland utilized seven hits to score five times across the first three innings. RBI base hits from Jared Dickey and Tommy White came in the bottom of the first. Brayan Buelvas belted a run-scoring double to center field, followed by Clark Elliott pushing an opposite-field RBI single to left in the second, then Luke Mann hit a RBI two-bagger to center in the home half of the third.
Genth smashed a two-run home run, his first in his professional career, over the wall in left center in the top of the seventh to put Wichita on the board and within three runs, trailing 5-2 against the RockHounds heading into the stretch.
