(Central News Agency reporter Su Chih-she, Taoyuan, 9th) CTBC Brothers catcher Gao Yu-Chieh today hit a 2-run RBI single after a hit-by-pitch controversy in the first inning, helping his team ultimately defeat TSG Hawks 4-2; pitcher Jose De Paula delivered a quality start with 6 innings and 1 earned run, securing his first win of the season.
Brothers' offense started in the bottom of the first inning. Chang Jen-wei and Yueh Cheng-hua hit consecutive singles, and Wang Wei-chen drew a walk with two outs to load the bases; Gao Yu-Chieh faced a close pitch after a 2-ball, 0-strike count, and the ball seemingly grazed his sleeve during his dodge.
After Brothers challenged the call, the ruling was not overturned. Manager Hirano Keiichi argued for a long time but could not change the decision. After the game resumed and Gao Yu-Chieh returned to the plate, he successfully hit a single, driving in 2 runs.
Brothers added one run in the bottom of the fifth and sixth innings respectively. Hawks finally scored in the top of the fifth inning, when rookie Chu Meng hit his career-first single with one out and a runner on second, also recording his first RBI; in the top of the seventh, Chen Wen-chieh hit a sacrifice fly, bringing in the second run.
Jose De Paula, in his second start since returning from injury, replicated his previous performance, pitching 6 innings and allowing 1 earned run, giving up 7 hits and striking out 2, earning his first win of the season. Hawks' starting pitcher Bradin Hagens allowed 4 earned runs in 6 innings, taking his third loss (3 wins). (Edited by Wu Su-jou) 1150509
