WICHITA, Kan. (April 23, 2025)—The Wichita Wind Surge overcame the Springfield Cardinals 7-6 in 10 innings at Equity Bank Park. Down 6-2 heading into the bottom of the eighth, Wichita rattled off five unanswered runs to win their fourth straight game.

The Cardinals were held to two hits through the opening three innings against Christian MacLeod, who made his season debut as a starter with the Wind Surge. Springfield later strung together four hits in a five at-bat span in the top of the fourth to plate three runs.

Wichita connected on a trio of consecutive hits themselves in the bottom of the fourth, with the final one being a Kala’i Rosario double to the alley near the Wind Surge bullpen to cut the deficit to one run at a 3-2 score.

Three insurance runs followed for the Cardinals between the seventh and eighth innings on four total hits. Wichita then scored five unanswered runs: two in the eighth, two to tie the game in the ninth, and then the game-winning run in the 10th on a single to left field by Kyler Fedko. The final score in 10 innings was 7-6 Wind Surge.

John Stankiewicz earned the victory, his first decision of the season, after throwing a scoreless 10th inning with a strikeout.
