(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-Wen, New Taipei 28th) Taiwanese left-handed pitcher Wang Yen-Cheng of the Korean professional baseball team Hanwha Eagles started today, pitching 5.1 innings and allowing 2 runs. So far this season, in all 6 appearances in the Korean league, he has not allowed more than 3 runs in a single game. The Hanwha Eagles defeated the SSG Landers 7-6 in extra innings, with Wang Yen-Cheng receiving a no-decision.
Wang Yen-Cheng faced trouble in the top of the 1st inning against the SSG Landers today, giving up a solo home run to the first batter, Park Seong-Han. He then retired two batters with a fly ball to shortstop and a ground ball to third base. After two outs, he allowed a hit and then a walk, but managed to recover in time, inducing a fly ball to the outfield to avoid further scoring.
Wang Yen-Cheng settled down after the 2nd inning. From the 2nd to 4th innings, although he issued walks allowing runners on base, he prevented the opponent from continuing their offensive. In the top of the 5th, after two outs, he gave up another hit to Park Seong-Han, but then induced a ground ball out, avoiding runs. The Hanwha Eagles scored one run each in the 4th and 5th innings, leading 2-1 after 5 innings.
In the top of the 6th, Wang Yen-Cheng allowed a lead-off single, then got a ground ball out. After allowing another hit to put runners on first and third, he exited the game. The relief pitcher allowed a sacrifice fly to center field, and the runner on base scored due to an obstruction violation, which was counted, costing Wang Yen-Cheng a potential win.
The SSG Landers scored 3 runs in the top of the 7th. The Hanwha Eagles tied the game with 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th and a run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 9th. The two teams battled into the 10th extra inning, where the Hanwha Eagles won 7-6.
Before today's game, Wang Yen-Cheng had pitched at least 5 innings and allowed within 3 runs in all 5 Korean league appearances. He earned wins on March 29th and April 4th but took losses in his last two outings, bringing his pre-game record to 2 wins and 2 losses.
Today, Wang Yen-Cheng threw a total of 91 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 5 hits, striking out 2, and walking 3. He gave up 2 earned runs, with his fastest pitch recorded at 148 km/h, and received a no-decision. His third career win in the Korean league will have to wait. (Editor: Li Heng-Shan) 1150428
