Wichita Wind Surge News Release


The Wichita Wind Surge lost 12-8 in the Opening Weekend Finale against the Frisco RoughRiders on Sunday, April 7. The loss puts the team at a 1-2 record in 2024.

Wichita plated six runs in the first inning after an initial three-to-nothing deficit, with five of six coming off home runs by Kala'i Rosario and Noah Cardenas. Rosario's was a three-run blast for his second such round-tripper in as many days since last night's win.

After trailing 7-6 in the bottom of the eighth, the Wind Surge had Noah Cardenas and Carson McCusker on second and third for Dalton Shuffield. Although Shuffield lined out, the Frisco first baseman threw the ball out of play across the diamond. Cardenas and McCusker came home to give the hometown team an 8-7 advantage due to the error.

Frisco rallied for five runs in the top of the ninth off Wind Surge reliever Miguel Rodriguez. Wichita got a runner on in the bottom half after Jake Rucker walked, but the replacement first baseman was retired as the force out at second to end the Sunday matinee.

The Wind Surge will start their first road series at Hammons Field with the Springfield Cardinals on Tuesday, April 9, with the first pitch time set for 6:35 PM.
