Central News Agency (CNA) Taipei, May 13 (Reporter Su Chih-yu) The CTBC Brothers team collapsed in the first inning today, with starting pitcher Cheng Hao-Chun giving up 9 runs in 0.1 innings. The Brothers ultimately conceded 13 runs to the Fubon Guardians in the first inning, setting a new team record for the most runs allowed in a single inning and tying the second most in Chinese Professional Baseball League history.
Cheng Hao-Chun was hit for four consecutive singles at the start of the game. After finally getting one out with a strikeout, his control faltered, leading to a hit-by-pitch, a single, another hit-by-pitch, and a walk. He was then pulled after the Guardians' leadoff hitter, Chih En-chi, hit his second single of the inning. Reliever Yu Chien then allowed the Guardians to bat through seven more batters before the long inning finally ended.
The Brothers' 13 runs conceded in a single inning is a new team high. The Chinese Professional Baseball League record is 14 runs conceded by the Jungo Bears in the first inning against the Wei Chuan Dragons on March 28, 1994. The second highest is 13 runs, achieved by the Jungo Bears (1st inning) on July 14, 1995, the Macoto Cobras (1st inning) on March 30, 2003, and the Rakuten Monkeys (4th inning) on July 5, 2025. The Brothers joined this list today.
The Guardians' 13 runs scored in a single inning tied their team record. Their previous high was also 13 runs against the Rakuten Monkeys on July 5, 2025, when they hit 12 singles, tying the league record. Today's 10 singles in a single inning is the second most in team history. (Edited by: Lin Shu-hui) 1150513
