Wichita Wingnuts News Release
Wichita, KS- The Wingnuts winning streak ended at a franchise-best nine games in a 6-1 loss to the Sioux City Explorers on Wednesday night at Lawrence Dumont Stadium.
Sioux City, who ended their own eight-game losing streak, got their offense from an unlikely source as pitcher Tyler Meigs went 3-4 with two doubles and three RBI. Meigs, who was the starting ptcher and batted ninth last night, was playing DH due to Sioux City's depleted roster.
The Explorers went up 3-0 before Wichita got their lone run in the sixth on an RBI groundout by Greg Porter. Porter went 0-4 on the night, however; ending his franchise-record hitting streak at 19 games. Stephen Pearson was the only Wingnuts player with multiple hits, going 2-4. The win was Sioux City's first over Wichita this season in nine meetings.
Wichita and Sioux City will finish their three-game series on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. Gabe Medina will get the start for the Wingnuts. For tickets call the Wingnuts office at (316) 264-4625.
