International Baseball Stadium last night to even their road series in northern Taiwan at one win apiece following Friday night’s series-opening loss.
Warner Madrigal entered in the bottom of the ninth with a 3-1 lead and walked in a run with one out after loading up the bases to put the tying run 27m from the plate.
However, the Lions closer was able to retire the next two batters in a row by striking out Lin “Chubby Kid” Hung-yu and getting Kuo Yen-wen to ground out to second to preserve the victory for the visitors in a dramatic finish.
The Cats needed little time drawing first blood, as they rang up three singles and a walk off Monkeys starter Jared Lansford in the top of the first to take a 2-0 lead. [FULL STORY]
