Wichita Takes Round 1 in Deciding Game
Midwest League pundits who figured the Round 1 between the Wichita Wild Cats and Great Lakes Loons would go the distance were right on the mark.

The two teams battled back and forth in a spirited series, with Wichita coming out on top thanks to a 6-4 win in the deciding game at Dow Diamond, to wrap things up 4-3.

"You get to the last game and anything can happen, so we're overjoyed to come out on top," said Wild Cats shortstop Rustan Rigdon, who was named series MVP.

For the series, Rigdon had 8 hits for a .364 average. He had 1 home runs, 1 RBI and scored 6 runs.

The Wichita Wild Cats will play against the South Bend Cubs in the next round. South Bend won their series against the Quad Cities River Bandits 4 games to 1. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
