Jorel Ortega put some good wood on the final out that would have won the game if it fell, but Wichita's comeback falls one run short in the top of the ninth, lose 7-6 to the NW Arkansas Travelers.
Wind Surge in business in the top of the ninth. They've scored two already, there is nobody out, and the bases loaded with a pitching change in progress. Hendry Mendez coming up to bat, down by 2.
Jenkins flies out to center and the Saints fall 7-5 in game one with Indianapolis.
Walker Jenkins will get a chance with Sabato on 2B.
Last chance for Saints in top of the 9th, bottom of the lineup coming up.
The Cedar Rapids Kernels trail 6-1 after four innings. Peoria puts up five runs in the fourth against starter Eli Jones. A solo homer from Jacob McCombs put the Kernels on the board.
The St. Paul Saints are down 7-5 in the top of the 7th, but Walker Jenkins, Gabriel Gonzalez, and Kyler Fedko have all hit home runs. Jenkins was his first of the season, Gonzalez's fourth, and Fedko's fifth.
Looked okay unleashing a throw to third on the next hitter. I'll write it off for now.
Uh oh, Emmanuel Rodriguez in some pain after an awkward dive in RF. But is staying in the game.
While a starting pitcher in the Florida State League continued a fantastic start to his professional career, top hitting prospects in High-A and Double-A stole the show with multi-home-run efforts.

Alan Roden gets the Saints within one in the eighth inning with his second home run of the season.
Kaelen Culpepper breaks an 0-for-12 dry spell with 103 MPH double into the right field corner.
Fort Myers falls to Lakeland 3-0. Dameury Pena's single in the sixth is the Mighty Mussels only hit in support of starter Reed Moring, who was again excellent. 5 IP, 0 R, 6 H, BB, 6 K.
The Wichita Wind Surge just scored another 9 runs in the bottom of the fourth and lead 17-0 over Springfield. Kala'i Rosario hit a 3-run homer after striking out earlier in the frame. Hendry Mendez had an RBI triple. Billy Amick RBI double. Ricardo Olivar a bases-clearing double.
A strange inning for the Saints. Only one ball left the infield but they score 4 runs and now lead 5-4 at CHS Field.
If I was betting man, Dameury Pena would have been my pick to break up the no-hitter in Fort Myers... His 2-out single in the sixth gets that job done.
Eduardo Tait's first home run of the season puts the Cedar Rapids Kernels out front 2-1 in the bottom of the first.
The dreaded "No-Hitter" alert banner is hanging over the box score of the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels game right now. The Saints got their first hit in the 9th inning last Tuesday, hopefully the Mighty Mussels can get one out of the way sooner than that.
🚨🚨🚨Editorial note: Mendez's blast was a grand slam 🚨🚨🚨
The Wind Surge have put crooked numbers on the scoreboard over the first two innings in Wichita. A triple from Garret Spain in the first and Hendry Mendez's first home run of the season in the second were the big hits.
Walker Jenkins rips a single up the middle at 112 MPH to lead off for the Saints. Lehigh Valley took a 2-0 lead against starter Andrew Bash in the top half at CHS Field.
RHP Andrew Morris is the first #MNTwins prospect from my preseason list to make his MLB debut this season! Congrats Andrew!!!

Billy Amick, Marek Houston, and Quentin Young all ambushed opposing pitchers with first-inning home runs on Tuesday, but the affiliate none of them play for struggled to hit anything.

It was the home opener for the St. Paul Saints at CHS Field on Tuesday night. But let’s never talk about this one again.

Give me enough pitches to warm up and I might be able to touch 60 MPH... 😅
Position player Tanner Schobel induced a double-play ball on this pitch:
Yeah I can't think of another one myself, either.
Tanner Schobel on to pitch for the saints. Wonder if he'll be lobbing them in for the rest of the game. It is the first time he's pitched as a pro. Pure Eephus's.
