BY JEFFREY LUTZ, The Wichita Eagle-
Since Dustan Mohr had his contract purchased by the Colorado Rockies on May 27, the Wingnuts have been searching for someone to replace the void the seven-year major league veteran left in the offense.
While Wichita has made trades and signed free agents, the last two nights have proved that the best options to pick up Mohr's slack have been with the team all along.
Chris Colton came a home run short of the cycle and Heath Keel homered for the second consecutive game and scored three runs in the Wingnuts' 10-3 win over Lincoln on Wednesday night at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
Colton and Keel have combined for five extra-base hits in the first two games of the series, both Wingnuts wins. They've showed that if they can produce offensively, Wichita's lineup can be equally dangerous.
"Every guy in our lineup can hit, 1 through 9," Keel said. "It's just a matter of getting the opportunities and carrying over a good at-bat to the next at-bat and a good game over to the next game."
