BY JEFFREY LUTZ, The Wichita Eagle-
Those who missed the first 72 games of the Wingnuts' season could have seen their story told in about four hours on Wednesday. After playing perhaps their best game of the year and beating St. Paul 7-0 in Game 1 of a doubleheader, Wichita missed its chance to build on it, losing 4-2 in Game 2 at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
