Wichita Wind Surge News Release
WICHITA, Kan. (April 13, 2025)-The Wichita Wind Surge finished their opening homestand on top in a 5-2 victory over the Midland RockHounds at Equity Bank Park. For the second straight game, Wichita clawed back with a four-run inning to win their fifth game of the series.
Midland's Brennan Milone slugged his first home run of the season, a solo shot, onto the left field berm in the top of the third. Allan Cerda opened the bottom of the third with a leadoff triple before scoring on a sacrifice fly to center from Tanner Schobel two batters later.
Cerda would continue to impact the game on the basepaths by scoring on a wild pitch in the bottom of the fifth. Jake Rucker placed a single through the left side to bring in Ben Ross and Jorel Ortega before crossing the plate himself on an Andrew Cossetti double.
Rucker Comes Through!
Jake Rucker grounds a 2-RBI single through the left side. He'd go on to score to mark our second straight game with a four-run frame.
While Junior Perez left the yard on a solo blast to right center in the top of the eighth, Jaylen Nowlin settled in after that over the final two innings. Mike Paredes earned the win, his first of the season, by throwing three hitless frames with two walks and three strikeouts. As the starter, Darren Bowen went for four innings and gave up an unearned run on four hits with a walk and four strikeouts. This week, Bowen threw nine innings and yielded just two runs over that span in two starts.
