(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-hsieh, Taipei, 3rd) Taiwanese pitcher Wang Yen-Cheng of the Korean professional baseball Hanwha Eagles started against the Samsung Lions today, pitching 5 innings and giving up 3 runs, but only 1 earned run, completing at least 5 innings in his 7th consecutive appearance. He left the game with both teams tied, resulting in a no-decision; ultimately, the Hanwha Eagles lost 6-7 in a comeback.
Wang Yen-Cheng allowed only one runner on base in each of the first two innings, and retired the side in order in the third inning, with the help of excellent defense from his teammates. However, in the 4th inning, he first gave up a solo home run to Choi Hyung-woo, then walked a batter, a fielding error, and a hit loaded the bases. Although he managed to get one out with a force out at home, he subsequently gave up another run on a hit, followed by a strikeout and then another walk, forcing in the third run of the inning.
Wang Yen-Cheng continued to pitch in the 5th inning. Although he gave up another hit to Choi Hyung-woo, he quickly got three outs to end the inning, ultimately throwing 98 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 5 hits, with 2 strikeouts and 3 walks. His ERA after the game was 2.37.
Since his debut in the KBO on March 29th, Wang Yen-Cheng has pitched at least 5 innings in all 7 of his appearances, with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses.
The Hanwha Eagles' offense scored 1 run each in the 1st, 2nd, and 5th innings, saving Wang Yen-Cheng from a loss, and even added 2 runs in the top of the 8th to take the lead. However, in the bottom of the 9th inning, the Samsung Lions defeated the Hanwha Eagles with a walk-off three-run home run by Lewin Diaz. (Editor: Wu Su-jou) 1150503
