Wichita Wind Surge News Release
WICHITA, Kan. - Ricardo Olivar connected on a solo home run in a 7-2 defeat for the Wichita Wind Surge against the San Antonio Missions at Equity Bank Park. Despite the Wind Surge scoring first in the game, the Missions utilized a pair of three-run innings to win their third straight game.
Rubel Cespedes yanked an RBI double to right field for the game's first run in the bottom of the first inning. Tonight marked the first time of the series in which the Wind Surge scored the first run.
San Antonio responded with three runs in the top of the third for a 3-1 Missions lead on the backs of a fielder's choice, a single to center by Moisés Gomez, and a two-base error. A second San Antonio three-spot followed in the top of the eighth on a throwing error and a two-RBI single to center field by Albert Fabian.
