[Reporter Luo Zhipeng/Report from Taipei] Yesterday in the Taiwan competition, G1 CITIC Brothers were defeated by Wei Quan Dragons 0:3.

In the end, the Dragons defeated the brothers 3:1 and won 2 consecutive victories.
Historical data shows that a team that loses all its first two games in the Taiwanese competition has only a 10.5% chance of winning the championship. In the past, only the Wei Quan Dragons in 1997 and the E-Da Rhinos in 2016 lost the first two games, and then went on to win four consecutive games and win the championship. Their opponents were the Times Eagles and CITIC Brothers.
In the first four innings of this campaign, both teams struggled to get past the limit. In the fifth inning, the brothers attacked. After one out, Gao Yujie hit, and then Song Shengrui added a hit. In addition, Dragons right fielder Zeng Sheng'an made a catch, resulting in one out and second and third bases were occupied. Zhang Renwei hit an infield grounder to score, ending this year's Taiwanese competition team's drought of 13 consecutive innings without scoring, and almost breaking the team's infamous record of 15 consecutive innings without scoring.
In the 5th inning, the Halong team counterattacked. Chen Zihao hit an infield ground ball and first baseman Chen Junxiu reached the bases on an error. Jiang Shaohong hit a hit. Zeng Shengan hit a 3-pointer to take the lead. Then Li Kaiwei hit a power ball and hit Felix's right foot. Although he successfully caught the out, Felix left the game due to a foot injury and Cai Qizhe took over the relay.
Felix started 4 and 2 innings and allowed 4 hits and 1 home run, as well as 3K and 3 walks. He allowed 3 runs, 2 of which were earned runs and was responsible for the loss. Strontium Massey started the game with 85 pitches and allowed 5 hits and 1 run in 6 innings to win the game. Zeng Sheng'an was selected as the single-game MVP.
