Wichita Wind Surge vs Tulsa Drillers — Sep 5, 2026

September 5 · 8:00 PM EDT

What to look for

Drillers bring the hot hand to face a Wind Surge club in freefall. Tulsa has won three straight and sits firmly ahead in the standings, while Amarillo has dropped five in a row and limped to a 1-9 stretch. Riley Quick takes the mound for the Wind Surge at 5.79 ERA with a 1.67 WHIP, pitching against Patrick Copen and his 6.32 ERA and 1.63 WHIP. Neither starter is sharp, but we have the edge going to the Wind Surge arm—the margin is tight, though, and both will need their defense to keep things in play.

  • Jake Gelof leads the Drillers with 32 home runs, a power advantage that stands against Billy Amick and his 23 for the Wind Surge. Tulsa's lineup has more juice available when it needs to break through.
  • Josue De Paula has driven in 100 runs for the Drillers this season, outpacing Billy Amick's 72 RBI for the Wind Surge. That gap in run production runs through the entire roster and reflects where the offensive pressure sits as the night unfolds.

A day-to-day designation still allows a start, so a name here is not always a scratch; an injured-list stint is.
