With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Fort Worth 1B John Allen singled and 3B Michael Bell launched a two-run game winning homer to left field that gave the Cats a 3-2 win over Wichita.

Worth, allowing just one earned run on three hits while striking out four. Brad Davis countered for the Wingnuts by completing six innings and surrendering just one run on four hits. 3B Michael Thompson had half of Wichita's hits in the game as he went 3-for-3 with a RBI and a run scored.
