Wichita Wind Surge News Release


Wichita, KS - Tanner Schobel kickstarted a five-run first inning as the Wichita Wind Surge defeated the Tulsa Drillers 7-1 at Equity Bank Park. The game was the first for Wichita as the Turbo Tubs this year, and as part of Turbo Tubs Weekend at the ballpark.

The Wind Surge put up five runs on five hits in the bottom of the first. Schobel opened with a solo home run to left for his seventh long ball of the season. Gabby Gonzalez tripled for the second straight night and scored on a fielder's choice. Noah Cardenas then doubled in a pair before Tyler Dearden singled the Wichita catcher home.

Jose Ramos scorched a single up the middle to give Tulsa their first run in the top of the third inning. Another fielder's choice brought in Kyler Fedko in the bottom half of the frame to give the Wind Surge a five-run lead again at 6-1.

Fedko homered for the Texas League-leading 11th time with a solo shot after the stretch in the bottom of the seventh for a 7-1 lead.
