David Gates hit a double and a home run and drove in four runs, helping the Wingnuts beat Sioux City 10-6 and earn a split of a doubleheader Sunday in Sioux City, Iowa.
Wichita pounded out 15 hits in the seven-inning game, and built an 8-0 lead after 3 ½ innings. Heath Keel had three RBIs to aid the attack.
Lack of timely hitting hurt the Wingnuts as they dropped the opener 2-1 -- Wichita left 10 men on base.
Wingnuts starting pitcher Gustavo Mata threw a complete game.
Notes -- Wichita has today off, then begins a three-game series on Tuesday in El Paso.... The Wingnuts also traded infielder Brandon Carter to the Grand Prairie Airhogs for future considerations today and activated pitcher Ronnie Ball.
