Wright Handcuffs Tempest, Bulldogs Seize 2-1 Advantage in World Series
With starter Jason Wright leading the charge, the Topeka Bulldogs defeated the New Haven Tempest, 3-2, in Game 3 of the World Series today. The right-hander threw 8 innings of 3-hit ball at Flagship Field to help Topeka take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Had Jerry Gibson not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 1st, Gibson hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Bulldogs.

"Every team in baseball loses," Tempest manager Brandon Eberle said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

The next game is scheduled for Sunday, November 1st, 2026 at Flagship Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Marcus Barr for Topeka and Keegan Kroll for New Haven.
