WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) -- Wichita beat Arkansas 3-2 on Thursday, and the win gives the Wind Surge a spot in the 2021 postseason. There's still seeding to work out but the Wind Surge will host at least one playoff game next week.

The top two teams in the Double-A Central start a best-of-five series on Tuesday. 

 

Chris Vallimont tossed a great 5.2 innings. In his 21st start, he allowed just one run and struck out four. Adam Lau got the final out to send Wichita to the playoffs. 

Ernie De La Trinidad had the clutch gene at the plate. He hit a two-RBI single in the sixth inning that gave the Wind Surge the 2-1 lead.
