BY JEFFREY LUTZ, The Wichita Eagle-
Though the Wingnuts had a 7-2 home record entering Thursday's game against Sioux Falls, five of the wins had come by three runs or fewer, leading manager Kash Beauchamp to conclude that hardly any lead was safe.
Against the Canaries, even the slimmest advantage was in good hands with Brad Davis. The Wichita starting pitcher took a shutout into the ninth, pitching the Wingnuts' first complete game in a 5-1 victory at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. Wichita took two of three games in the series.
Davis, Wichita's opening day starter, was in control from the start. He didn't walk a batter and went to two three-ball counts. He struck out seven, allowed three hits and didn't allow a run until Beau Torbert struck him for a solo home run with one out in the ninth.
