Felix Molina went two-for-four with two stolen bases and chipped in an RBI single in the fourth. That scored Devin Goodwin and capped the three-run inning.

Wichita tied the game with three runs with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, capped by a two-RBI double from CJ Ziegler.

T-Bones starting pitcher Aaron Meade (1-0) went seven innings, allowing three unearned runs on just four hits.
