North Little Rock, AR - Four Arkansas relief pitchers combined for 5.2 shutout innings and the Travelers defeated the Wichita Wind Surge, 5-4 in 10 innings on Wednesday. Jimmy Kingsbury (1.2 IP), Nick Davila (IP), Juan Burgos (2 IP) and Brandyn Garcia (IP), allowed just one hit while keeping the Wind Surge off the scoreboard. The winning run scored on a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt attempt to start the bottom of the 10th inning. Blake Rambusch reached base three times including two hits and scored three runs while also stealing two bases. Connor Charping had a pair of RBIs for Arkansas.
