NEW TAIPEI CITY, May 10 (CNA reporter Su Chih-she) -- Fubon Guardians veteran Wang Sheng-wei experienced a thrilling moment on the field last night, ignoring the stop signal from third base coach Chan Chih-yao and dashing to home plate. Although he scored, he admitted it was due to a lack of chemistry, having mistaken the coach's "stop" call for "Go" (run).
In the bottom of the fourth inning of yesterday's game against the Wei Chuan Dragons, with two outs, Wang Sheng-wei was on second base. Lin Tse-pin then hit a single to center field. As Wang Sheng-wei rounded third, he saw third base coach Chan Chih-yao giving the "stop" signal, but he paused only briefly before continuing to sprint towards home plate, successfully scoring a run.
Wang Sheng-wei recounted the situation in an interview with the media today. Because the team was trailing by 4 runs and it was two outs, he was aggressively running the bases. He saw the coach's movement but mistook the shouted "stop" for "Go," and continued to charge towards home. "Because I paused for a moment, the opponent might have thought I wasn't going to run and relayed the ball, which is why I succeeded."
After returning to the dugout, Wang Sheng-wei questioned whether he had misheard. He also saw head coach Mitsutaka Goto smiling at him, and Chan Chih-yao was filmed by the broadcast secretly smiling before coming over to ask, "I told you to stop, why did you run?"
Wang Sheng-wei explained the misunderstanding, but also admitted that although the head coach didn't say much and encouraged players to aggressively steal bases, even though this time the outcome was good, "this kind of situation cannot happen when the score is close."
Wang Sheng-wei pointed out that the Dragons' center fielder is Kuo Tien-hsin, and normally he wouldn't dare challenge such a long throw. "The younger me wouldn't dare challenge him either." He then added, "If it were Chan Chih-yao, I wouldn't have stopped." Fubon Guardians third base coach Chan Chih-yao was also a famous center fielder in the CPBL in the past.
