Wichita is the Double-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.

This will be the first game for affiliated minor league baseball in Wichita in 14 years, since the Wichita Wranglers left for a new stadium in Springdale, Arkansas.

The Wind Surge opens its franchise history with a six-game series in Springfield.
