(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-Wen, New Taipei City, May 9) Wei Chuan Dragons' Chu Yu-Hsien hit a home run in the 3rd inning today, contributing 2 hits and 3 RBIs, helping the team defeat the Fubon Guardians 8-2. He was selected as the MVP of the game and joked that the wind helped with his home run. He considered winning this game very crucial but also mentioned a slight defensive flaw in the 4th inning.
Today, the Dragons played against the Guardians. In the top of the 3rd inning, Chu Yu-Hsien, the Dragons' cleanup hitter, hit a 2-run homer off Guardians' starting pitcher Chen Shih-Peng, marking his 5th home run of the season. In the 5th inning, he hit another single and scored a run, and in the 6th, he drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Overall, he had 2 hits in 3 at-bats, contributing 3 RBIs, and was selected as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the game.
Today marked Coach Yeh Chun-Chang's 1000th game as a manager for the Dragons. Chu Yu-Hsien stated that he was aware of this record, but after the game, it was Coach Yeh Chun-Chang's 300th victory managing the Wei Chuan Dragons, which is a very rare milestone.
Chu Yu-Hsien mentioned that the current competition is getting tighter, and winning this game was very crucial. If they had lost, the series would have been more dangerous. The entire team, both pitchers and fielders, seized their opportunities and won the game.
Talking about the home run in the 3rd inning, Chu Yu-Hsien said he was looking for a specific pitch to swing at, and today the wind was also quite strong, helping with the home run. He noted that not scoring with the bases loaded in the previous inning affected morale, so he was very happy to help the team. He believes that if everyone, from the 1st to the 9th batter, can step up and be a hero when needed, winning games will become easier.
In the bottom of the 4th inning today, Guardians' Lin Tse-Pin hit a single to center field. Dragons' center fielder Kuo Tien-Hsin wanted to throw directly to home plate, but Chu Yu-Hsien intercepted the ball midway and relayed it to home, failing to catch Wang Sheng-Wei, who had run back to home plate.
Chu Yu-Hsien said: "It was my small flaw." At that moment, he saw the Guardians' base running coach blocking the runner, but when he turned around, he saw Wang Sheng-Wei still running. He immediately discussed this defensive play with the coach to see what would be better to do next time. (Edited by Chang Ming-Kun) 1150509
