“As the only few veterans on the team, I’ve been thinking about how to motivate this group of young kids.  And I’ve come to a conclusion that I just need to lead by example, that’s the best way to lead and motivate them” Said the G4 MVP Chang Chih-Hao.

“The key factor in winning this Playoff Series is our pitching staff, they really stepped up and did a great job for us. It doesn’t matter we start the Taiwan Series with 1 game disadvantage, we’ll win the Taiwan Series for the fans”  – Brothers skipper Cory Snyder

With Brothers starting pitcher Rick Teasely having some command issues in the top of 3rd.  Lions was able to reduced the gap to 4-5, first scoring a run on fielder’s choice and Pan Wu-Hsiung followed up with a 2-run homer, his 2nd homers of the night against Rick Teasley.
