Wichita, KS - Five Wichita Wind Surge pitchers combined to shutout the Arkansas Travelers, 3-0 on Friday night. The only runs of the game came on a three-run home run by Jake Rucker. Michael Morales threw a quality start for the Travs lasting six innings with five strikeouts but was stung by the homer and took the loss. C.J. Culpepper worked five innings for the Wind Surge to get the win with Kade Bragg finishing off the bullpen relay and collecting the save.

Moments That Mattered
