[Reported by Kung Nai-(...) from Taipei] The CTBC Brothers managed only 2 hits against the Wei Chuan Dragons in Game 1 yesterday, setting a new franchise low for Game 1 and tying for the second-fewest hits in Game 1 history, trailing only Sinon's 1 hit in 2003. Facing the Dragons again today, the Brothers kept the same starting lineup, though the batting order was shuffled: Chang Jen-Wei and Chang Shih-Lun swapped spots, while Huang Wei-Sheng and Chiang Kun-Yu did the same.

In addition, the CTBC Brothers' inactive players for the game are Mario Sanchez, Wu Li-Chen, Hsieh Jung-Hao, and Wei Shuo-Cheng. Hsu Ting-Lun, the first-round draft pick of 2024 who was left off the inactive list last night, has been included in this year's Taiwan Series active roster for the first time and has a chance to come off the bench. He made a substitute appearance in Game 2 of last year's Taiwan Series but has yet to log a plate appearance.
