WICHITA, Kan. — The Wichita Wind Surge (22-29) snapped a six-game losing streak Wednesday night at Equity Bank Park with a 7-6 victory over the San Antonio Missions (21-32), fueled by a six-RBI performance from Andrew Cossetti.
Cossetti carried the Wichita offense, driving in six runs while belting two home runs to extend his on-base streak to 20 consecutive games. His two long balls, including a 452-foot grand slam, marked his first multi-homer game of the season. Jamie Ferrer and Kala'i Rosario also extended their respective on-base streaks to six games, while Miguel Briceno recorded his first Double-A hit.
On the mound, the Wind Surge bullpen held on long enough to secure the victory. Spencer Bengard tossed two scoreless innings and struck out three, while Paulshawn Pasqualotto worked the final two innings without allowing a run to earn his first Double-A save.
THE RUNDOWN
The Missions struck first in the opening inning, using a pair of doubles to score one before adding another on a bases-loaded walk.
The Wind Surge threatened in the bottom half with a pair of walks but could not push a run across and trailed 2-0 after one.
San Antonio added to its lead in the second when a solo home run cleared the berm in left field, making it 3-0.
Wichita answered immediately in the bottom of the inning, loading the bases and scoring one on a walk before Cossetti crushed a 452-foot grand slam to give the Wind Surge a 5-3 advantage.
Bengard entered to begin the fifth and was dominant out of the bullpen, striking out three over two scoreless innings.
The Missions reclaimed the lead in the seventh. A ground ball to third skipped over the bag and allowed a run to score from first before San Antonio launched a two-run homer later in the inning to move in front 6-5.
The Wind Surge responded in the bottom half as Cossetti launched a two-run homer into the left-field seats, his second long ball of the night and fifth of the season, putting Wichita back on top 7-6.
Pasqualotto took over in the eighth and retired the final six batters of the game to secure the victory.
