WICHITA, KS- The Sioux City Explorers nipped the Wichita Wingnuts 2-1 on Saturday Night in front of 4,488 fans at Lawrence Dumont Stadium.
The Explorers scored a run in the first on a wild pitch and a run in the third on a bases loaded walk, but that was enough as six Sioux City pitchers combined on a six-hitter. Kevin Cheppenko and David Rider combined to allow just six hits for the Wingnuts. Michael Thompson knocked in the lone Wichita run with a home run in the seventh inning, his seventh of the season.
The Explorers and Wingnuts will wrap up their three-game series on Sunday at 4:05 p.m. For tickets call the Wingnuts office at (316) 264-4625.
