WICHITA, Kan. (September 5, 2025)—After a two-hour and 14-minute rain delay, the Wichita Wind Surge fell 6-1 in seven innings to the Tulsa Drillers at Equity Bank Park. The Wind Surge are now two games back of the Drillers for the playoff spot.

Tulsa didn’t waste time after the rain delay by scoring three runs in the top of the first inning on a passed ball, a Kyle Nevin RBI single, and a Chris Newell sacrifice fly. Kala’i Rosario scampered home on an infield error on a designed pickoff play in the home half of the frame to make the score 3-1 Drillers after one.

Gabriel Yanez walked a batter and retired the other six batters he faced over two innings of relief.

Sean McLain drove in two runs for Tulsa on a single to left in the top of the sixth to make it a five-run Drillers lead. Ben Ross threw a man out at the plate in the frame to keep Wichita within range.

Taylor Young singled and a sixth Drillers run came in on an error in the top of the seventh on the way to a 6-1 final.

Alejandro Hidalgo fell to 0-4 with the loss. Over two innings, he gave up three earned runs on three hits and three walks with a strikeout.
