Rain started to pelter down in Tulsa; Yeiner Fernandez lined a two-out single into left-center, then Alex Freeland doubled over Kyler Fedko to the center field wall, allowing Fernandez to get the wave and score from first to tie the game in the bottom of the fifth before a rain delay got put into effect after Jaylen Nowlin fielded a comebacker and underhand tossed the ball to first baseman Aaron Sabato for the final out. The game then was suspended due to unplayable field conditions until Friday at 4:30 PM where the contest will resume.
The Wind Surge will continue their series tomorrow against the Tulsa Drillers on Friday, July 5, at ONEOK Field, with the second previously scheduled game shortly after the first suspended contest ends.
