WICHITA, Kan. (May 17, 2025)—Andrew Cossetti, Kyler Fedko, and Tanner Schobel all hit home runs in an 11-2 Wichita Wind Surge victory over the Arkansas Travelers at Equity Bank Park. The Wind Surge scored nine unanswered runs between the fifth and eighth innings.

Victor Labrada homered on the game’s first pitch out to right field. Fedko tied the game on a double to the left center gap in the bottom of the first ahead of scoring on an infield knock by Aaron Sabato for a 2-1 Wichita lead after an inning. 

On the first pitch of the second inning, Caleb Cali hit one out to the Wind Surge bullpen to tie the game. 

Fedko connected on a go-ahead three-run jack to left field in the bottom of the fifth for a 5-2 Wichita lead. He’s now left the yard in consecutive games and improved his stance on the Texas League leaderboards with his team leading seventh long ball. 

Six more runs followed for the Wind Surge throughout the sixth and eighth innings on seven hits, including homers from Cossetti and Schobel.
