The Northwest Arkansas Naturals (11-12) dropped a close game to the Wichita Wind Surge (10-13) on Wednesday night at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale, Arkansas. The loss halted a three-game win streak NWA had going. The two teams continue their series on Thursday night with a 7:05 PM CT first pitch.

Northwest Arkansas plate the first (and their only) run of the game in the home half of the first inning. Luca Tresh lifted a sacrifice fly to right, plating Peyton Wilson to give the Naturals a 1-0 lead.

Wichita scored in the top of the second to even the score, and the game stayed that way until the seventh. After a fielding error on Jeison Guzman at shortstop denied the Naturals the first out of the inning the Wind Surge put runners at second and third. *Anthony Prato's * two RBI single to center field brought in the only two runs Wichita needed. NWA loaded the bases in the ninth, but came up short in the 3-1 loss.

With the six-game series even at one game a piece, RHP Alec Marsh takes the mound for the Naturals on Thursday.
