WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – A Wichita Wind Surge player helped save a Florida man.

According to Fort Myer’s affiliates WINK and WBBH, Travis Adams was in town for spring training and rushed in to save a man named Howard from a fire on Monday evening. According to the station, Adams was assisted by other neighbors.

“Me and another guy went and knocked on the door. I think one guy ended up breaking the window,” Adams told the station. “I think we ended up kicking the front door in a little bit, but there was so much stuff blocking the front door that there wasn’t any way to get in.”

While putting the fire out, a firefighter was hurt but is recovering and expected to be ok.

Adams was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in 2021 and was assigned to the Wind Surge in 2023. WINK reports that Adams heads to Kansas on Monday.
