WICHITA WIND SURGE 7, SPRINGFIELD CARDINALS 0 IN WICHITA

It wasn't all they got, of course.  In fact, they scored another in the first, on a Kala'i Rosario double.  They added four in the third, as Ricardo Olivar led off the inning with a home run and later in the inning Noah Cardenas hit a three-run homer.  The final run came in the seventh on a Jake Rucker RBI single.
