WICHITA, Kan.—The Wichita Wind Surge energized a 9-1 win over the Tulsa Drillers behind a large crowd at Riverfront Stadium. Wichita scored multiple runs in three frames, sparred by a four-run second, to gather their first win of the series.

Alex Isola floated a run-scoring single into shallow right field to bring in Walker Jenkins from third in the bottom of the first. Ben Ross then yanked a two-run shot, his 11th of the season, to the left field berm to push the Wind Surge ahead 3-0 in the home half of the second.

That wouldn’t be all of the Wichita scoring in the second as Andrew Cossetti pushed an opposite-field two-RBI triple to the right field corner.

Jorel Ortega brought in two more on a single to left field with the bases loaded two innings later in the fourth. Cossetti, the Wind Surge catcher, doubled in a pair more to left in the sixth to get to four RBIs on the night.

Tulsa walked a man in when down to their final outs in the top of the ninth, though that would be all the Drillers got as Wichita put up a 9-1 victory.

Marco Raya finishes his Double-A season at 3-4 with a win. He threw five innings of two-hit baseball with three walks and five strikeouts.

The Wind Surge continue their series with the Tulsa Drillers tomorrow, September 14, at 6:05 PM, at Riverfront Stadium. The first 1,500 fans who enter the gates will receive a Wichita T-Shirt Hoodie!
