Jac Caglianone improved his Texas League leading RBI amount to 36 by pushing a run across on a groundout in the last of the sixth, 1-0 Naturals.
Kala'i Rosario muscled his first triple of the season out to the wall in left center to tie the game in the top of the eighth. Rosario scampered in to score on a Kyler Fedko infield groundout to give the Wind Surge a 2-1 lead.
After Jarret Whorff struck out the side in the bottom of the eighth, a third Wichita run came in the top of the ninth on a Tanner Schobel sacrifice fly. While the leadoff hitter, Carter Jensen, reached on an infield single, a double play and a groundout to Jake Rucker ended the game with a 3-1 final in favor of Wichita.
