North Little Rock, AR—An eight run third inning by the visitors spoiled the night at Dickey-Stephens Park as the Wichita Wind Surge defeated the Arkansas Travelers, 8-3 on Saturday night. With the loss, the Travs magic number to clinch the first half division title remained at one. The first 10 batters of the third inning reached for Wind Surge and the scoring in the inning was finished by a three-run double. The Wichita bullpen was nearly flawless as they did not let the Travs mount a comeback with John Stankiewicz and Regi Grace combining for 4.1 scoreless innings.
