WICHITA, KS - The Wichita Wingnuts fell 9-4 to the St. Paul Saints on Thursday in the second game of a four-game series.
St. Paul scored six runs off of starter Gustavo Mata in the bottom of the second to get all the runs they would need. The Wingnuts had rallies in the eighth and ninth, but ultimately fell five runs short.
Blake Gailen, Steve Pearson, and Kevin Hooper each had two hits apiece, while Pearson, Bub Bergstrom, and Felipe Del Rosatrio chipped in RBIs. With the loss, the Wingnuts suffered their first four-game losing streak of the year and will try and bounce back tomorrow night against the Saints with Richard Salazar on the rmound. First pitch at Midway Stadium is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
Wichita returns home Sunday at 4:05 p.m. against Sioux City, opening a three-game series. For tickets call the Wingnuts' office at (316) 264-4625.
