(Central News Agency reporter Hsieh Ching-wen, Taipei, 13th) The Uni-President 7-ELEVEN Lions today defeated the Wei Chuan Dragons 2-1, becoming the first team in CPBL history to achieve the milestone of 2000 wins. Head coach 'Brother Ping' Lin Yueh-ping said that from the first generation to the sixth generation of Lions, this one win brought joy to all Uni-President people, and he hopes to create new heights.
The Uni-Lions, a veteran team in the CPBL, achieved their 1900th win on August 10, 2024. Before today's game, they had accumulated 1999 wins. Today, they faced the Wei Chuan Dragons at the Tainan Asia-Pacific International Baseball Training Center baseball main stadium, completing the 2000-win milestone. The next team expected to challenge 2000 wins is the CTBC Brothers, who had accumulated 1936 wins in team history (including its predecessor) before the game.
The Dragons scored first in the top of the 3rd inning with consecutive hits from Chang Cheng-yu, Lin Chen-hsun, and Tseng Sheng-an. The Lions tied the game in the bottom of the 3rd. Chen Chung-yu walked, Lin Hung-hsien hit a career-first triple to bring in the tying run, and Chen Chieh-hsien's sacrifice fly brought in the go-ahead run.
Lions starting pitcher Denyi Reyes was only hit for singles by the Dragons in the 3rd and 4th innings today. He threw 92 pitches over 7 innings, giving up 4 hits, striking out 3, walking 1, and allowing 1 earned run, earning his 2nd win of the season and his longest single-game pitching performance in his CPBL career so far.
Lin Hung-hsien had 2 hits in 3 at-bats in this game, including a crucial hit in the 3rd inning that brought in the tying run, and also had one stolen base, earning him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for the game.
Lions head coach 'Brother Ping' Lin Yueh-ping said in a home interview that from the first generation, the second generation, counting up to Chen Chieh-hsien, it should be the sixth generation. Some people have become grandfathers, some have become fathers, and some are preparing for families. Today's 2000th win brought joy to all Uni-President people. He thanked Uni-President Baseball Team and Uni-President Corporation for their years of support.
Lin Yueh-ping also mentioned that he hopes this one win can make the team run smoother and ultimately win the championship; he also thanked the fans for their continuous support, stating that 2000 wins is just a historical record, and with the support of fans, he believes 3000 wins and 4000 wins will come, calling for the team to create new heights.
