SAN ANTONIO MISSIONS 5, WICHITA WIND SURGE 4 IN SAN ANTONIO

Marcos Castanon singled home a run in the second, but Wichita tied it in the third.  Romeo Sanabria homered in the fourth, and it stayed 2-1 until the seventh, when Wichita loaded the bases on two singles and a walk and Kyler Fedco unloaded them with a three-run double.  It was 4-2 Wichita, and it looked like that would hold up.  But in the bottom of the ninth, two singles put runners on the corners, a sacrifice fly tied the score, and a two-out double by Nerwilian Cedeno scored the deciding run for San Antonio.
