SAN ANTONIO, Texas (May 21, 2025)—Andrew Cossetti drove in a pair of runs in a 6-4 win for the Wichita Wind Surge, who never trailed the San Antonio Missions at Nelson W. Wolff Municipal Stadium. The series is now tied up at a game apiece in the Texas League interdivisional matchup between the Wind Surge and Missions.
Aaron Sabato cracked a single to center in the top of the first for the game’s first run. Andrew Cossetti doubled toward the left field corner in the next at-bat for another RBI knock and a 2-0 Wichita lead after a pair of two-out run-scoring hits.
After Rosario stole home on a rundown, Cossetti singled in his second RBI in the top of the third to double the Wind Surge lead.
Brandon Valenzuela got the Missions on the board with an infield single in the bottom of the fifth to make it a three-run game. It marked the first half inning of three where a run came across, and the scoreboard read 5-2 Wichita after six.
An infield single by Romeo Sanabria followed a Moisés Gomez bases-loaded walk to bring the game within a run in the last of the seventh. Jorel Ortega gave the Wind Surge a two-run lead again at 6-4 by scampering home on a wild pitch with two outs in the top of the eighth.
Ben Ross ended the eighth on a massive 6-4 double play with the tying run on base before Cody Laweryson threw a routine ninth to give Wichita their first win of the series.
