(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-yu, Taipei, 2nd) Fubon Guardians slugger Chang Yu-Cheng hit two home runs in a single game today, helping the team defeat the Wei Chuan Dragons 5-4 and ending his nearly month-long home run drought. Manager Kouhei Goto stated, "He's gradually approaching the ideal Chang Yu-Cheng."
Chang Yu-Cheng's last home run was on April 6. Today, his solo shot in the top of the 3rd inning gave the team a 3-2 lead, and another solo home run in the top of the 5th extended the lead to two runs. This is his second two-homer game in a single outing since joining the CPBL in Taiwan.
During a post-game media interview, Chang Yu-Cheng revealed that after hitting the first home run, the manager asked, "You haven't hit a home run in a long time, when was the last one?" Chang Yu-Cheng himself felt it had been a while, but he was happiest to help the team win today because yesterday's loss had dampened the mood. He said, "Today I wanted to help the team, and it just so happened to yield good results."
Kouhei Goto pointed out that observing Chang Yu-Cheng from the past until now, the ideal offensive pattern is like today's second home run, sweeping the ball towards center field. That kind of batting action resembles his ideal form.
After the game, Chang Yu-Cheng had accumulated 4 home runs, closing in on teammate Fan Kuo-Chen, who currently leads with 5 home runs. Chang Yu-Cheng noted that both are cleanup hitters for the team and have a complementary relationship. He said, "I hope someone steps up every game. If both of us go cold, then we don't deserve to be cleanup hitters. If one person isn't playing well, others make up for it; that's a team." (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150502
