WICHITA, Kan. - One crucial inning proved to be costly for the Canaries on Tuesday night. In the bottom of the third, Wichita (34-23) picked up four straight hits and three runs in route to a 3-1 victory over Sioux Falls (23-34) at Lawrence Dumont Stadium.
The Wingnuts scored their only runs in the bottom of the third inning. Luis Hernandez led things off with a double that was followed by a single from Harrison Kain, an RBI single from Jayce Ray and an RBI single from David Espinosa.
