WICHITA, Kansas - The Frisco RoughRiders took a 2-0 lead early, but could not hang on in a 5-3 loss to the Wichita Wind Surge on Sunday afternoon from Riverfront Stadium. Jonathan Ornelas, Trey Hair and Matt Whatley all tallied two hits in the defeat.
The Riders (27-24) jumped out in front early on an RBI single from Ornerlas in the second inning, plating Josh Stowers. Ornelas finished his day 2-for-4, his 19th two-hit game of the season to lead the RoughRiders.
In the third, Sandro Fabian cracked his seventh home run of the season - and his second in as many days - to make it 2-0.
From there, the Wind Surge (30-19) began their comeback. Anthony Prato brought Edouard Julien in on a sacrifice fly in the third and tied the game at 2-2 in the fourth on a Chris Williams solo home run.
In the sixth, the Riders saw Justin Slaten (0-3) come into the game in relief and allowed a three-run double to Ernie Yake to put the Wind Surge out in front 5-2.
