[Reporter Lin Youchen/Comprehensive Report] The Taiwanese women's softball team of the Nagoya Asian Games defeated Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore a few days ago. Today they played against China. The two sides fought hard in the rain. After four rounds and the Taiwan team fell behind 0:5, the game was suspended for more than an hour due to rain, and the game has not yet resumed.

A total of 8 teams participated in the Asian Games women's softball team. The preliminaries were conducted in a round-robin format. The top 2 teams advanced to the gold medal match, and the 3rd and 4th teams advanced to the bronze medal match. If the Taiwan team beats China again now, it will achieve 4 wins in the preliminaries.

The Taiwan team introduced Ke Xia'ai as the starter and lost 1 point in the bottom of the game. In the 2nd inning, Ke Xiaai faced the first batter and threw a touch ball. The Taiwan team immediately changed pitches and Du Yating took over. With someone on first base, the Chinese team failed to implement a bunt strategy, and the runner was cleverly restrained by Taiwan team's catcher Li Sishi and was out at first base. Center fielder Jiang Ting'en then performed a diving skill.

During the game, the rain got heavier and the Taiwanese team fought hard in the rain. Du Yating was hit by consecutive long hits in the 4th inning. Yang Huiqi's hit helped the Chinese team score the second point. Du Yating was then hit in the right arm by a battering ball and left the game to receive treatment. The Taiwanese team replaced left-hander Pan Yuling, but Sang Yujuan hit a 3-run home run. The Taiwan team replaced Zhu Yishan on the board again, finally ending the Chinese team's offensive. After the two sides played 4 rounds, the game was suspended due to rain.
