<p>WICHITA, Kan. (June 25, 2025)&mdash;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/kala-i-rosario-693850"><strong>Kala&rsquo;i Rosario</strong></a>&nbsp;hit for the cycle in a 10-1 Wichita Wind Surge win over the Springfield Cardinals at Equity Bank Park.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.milb.com/player/john-klein-804619"><strong>John Klein</strong></a>&nbsp;struck out a season-high nine hitters over five innings with two hits, an earned run, and a walk finishing out his line. He improved to 5-4 on the year with the win, while&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/ricky-castro-690462"><strong>Ricky Castro</strong></a>&nbsp;earned his second save after throwing for the final three innings with just two walks given up besides three strikeouts.</p>
<p>Rosario smoked a ground ball double the other way to right center to bring in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/gabriel-gonzalez-694224"><strong>Gabby Gonzalez</strong></a>&nbsp;for a 1-0 Wind Surge lead in the bottom of the first.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/jorel-ortega-687567"><strong>Jorel Ortega</strong></a>&nbsp;gave Wichita another run on a sacrifice fly to right field in the home half of the second.</p>
<p>JJ Wetherholt grounded an RBI single to right center in the top of the third to make the score 2-1 Wichita, then Rosario roped a solo shot off the scoreboard, his eighth of the season, to return a two-run lead for the Wind Surge in the bottom of the inning.</p>
<p>Wichita scored four more times in the bottom of the fourth on just a hit.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/kaelen-culpepper-701785"><strong>Kaelen Culpepper</strong></a>&nbsp;drew a bases-loaded walk, and then&nbsp;<a href="https://www.milb.com/player/ben-ross-805346"><strong>Ben Ross</strong></a>&nbsp;came home on a groundout. Rosario singled to right center for the latter two runs to score and provide a 7-1 Wichita lead.</p>
<p>Culpepper homered for the second straight game to left field in the home half of the sixth.</p>
