Namoh Iyang Turns Grief into Strength, Hits Home Run at Taipei Dome for Late Uncle

Wei Chuan Dragons player Namoh Iyang turned grief into strength, hitting a go-ahead two-run home run as a pinch hitter against the CTBC Brothers today to help his team secure a victory. He dedicated this, his second career pinch-hit home run and his first in 630 days, to his uncle who passed away recently, thanking him for his lifelong support. Namoh Iyang, who started the season in the minor leagues, was called up to the majors on the 17th. Today, at the Taipei Dome, he came off the bench in the top of the 9th inning to break the tie. The Dragons won 7-2, and he was named the game's MVP. Namoh Iyang recalled that he had struggled against pitcher Lee Chen-chang in the past, but he stayed focused and capitalized on a mistake pitch. He noted that his uncle had supported him since childhood and had watched him play at the Taipei Dome during the 2023 Asian Baseball Championship. Manager Yeh Chun-chang praised his readiness, and Namoh Iyang expressed his commitment to helping the team win.
