Wichita Edged Out In Series Opener Pitching Production

SAN ANTONIO, Texas—Jarret Whorff and Aaron Rozek combined for seven strikeouts against four total hits in a 1-0 loss for the Wichita Wind Surge in the series opener against the San Antonio Missions at Nelson Wolff Stadium.

The lone run came early for the Missions on an RBI double to the right field wall in the bottom of the first for the lone offensive scoring by either side.

Tanner Schobel had a runner on third in the top of the fifth and flew out to center field for the second out; Emmanuel Rodriguez attempted to tag up and score but left early and got doubled up by San Antonio to end the frame.

Rodriguez also tallied his fourth multi-hit game of the season, accounting for two of Wichita’s five hits on a single and double in a 2-for-4 performance. The double is his sixth of the season and pushed him to the Texas League lead in the category.

On the bump, Rozek retired 12 straight batters between the fourth and eighth innings. Since rejoining the Wind Surge, he has surrendered only one hit across 8.1 innings of relief with seven strikeouts against two walks.
