Wichita Wind Surge News Release
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (August 13, 2025)-Kala'i Rosario hit his 18th homer of 2025 in a 5-1 loss for the Wichita Wind Surge against the Springfield Cardinals at Hammons Field. The Wind Surge got one-hit and dropped their third straight game since Sunday's series finale versus Northwest Arkansas.
Springfield struck first for three runs in the bottom of the second on a 102-mile-per-hour two-run double to the left-center alley by Brody Moore and a bloop single to center from Chase Davis. Davis drove in another run on a second base hit to shallow center two innings later for a 4-0 Cardinals lead.
Jorel Ortega caught a line drive out in left field and threw to Nate Baez, who tagged Davis, trying to return to first base on an inning-ending double play in the home half of the fourth.
Jeremy Rivas ripped a run-scoring single through the left side and into left field to give Springfield a 5-0 advantage in the bottom of the fifth inning.
After being no-hit through six frames, Rosario launched a solo home run, #18 on the season, out to left-center to put the Wind Surge on the board before the stretch in the seventh.
Despite Ricky Castro and Kyle Bischoff combining to retire the last 10 Springfield batters in a row, Wichita could not string together any hits after the long ball and lost 5-1.
Connor Prielipp took his sixth loss of the season after giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts over three and one-third innings as the Wind Surge starting pitcher.
