SAN ANTONIO, Texas (May 22, 2025)&mdash;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/aaron-sabato-693306">Aaron Sabato</a>&nbsp;homered as the Wichita Wind Surge dropped a close 2-1 ballgame to the San Antonio Missions at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium. While Wichita put the tying run in scoring position in the bottom of the ninth, it wasn&rsquo;t enough to tie the game and compete for a potential second straight win.
Francisco Acuna opened the bottom of the first with a home run over the left field wall. Besides that leadoff long ball, neither team would put any more tallies against the respective Wichita and San Antonio starters&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/ricky-castro-690462">Ricky Castro</a>&nbsp;and Henry Baez.
Sabato slugged a solo shot to right in the top of the seventh to tie the game 1-1. He is now two long balls away from the Wind Surge individual franchise record.

Nerwilian Cede&ntilde;o singled back up the middle to score Marcos Casta&ntilde;on in the bottom of the eighth to give the Missions a 2-1 lead. While Wichita put the tying run on second base, that runner would be stranded there after a game-ending strikeout in the top of the ninth.
<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/pierson-ohl-701487">Pierson Ohl</a>&nbsp;fell to 2-1 after receiving the loss. Over three innings, he gave up an earned run on three hits with a trio of strikeouts as the lone Wind Surge reliever used in the ballgame.
