Wichita Wind Surge Beat
Noel Beck
Noel Beck covers the Wichita Wind Surge for Relay Sports, filing a recap of every game the night it finishes. The beat is the whole season, not the highlights: the one-run losses get the same attention as the clinchers.
The writing keeps its eye on what actually decided the game — the moment it turned, the player who kept it from turning further, and the players a Twins fan will want to know about before they reach Minneapolis.
