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.
The 1, The Only, Andrew Cossetti!
