[Reporter Gong Naijie/Comprehensive Report] The Taiwanese team competed with the Chinese team for the bronze medal in the Nagoya Asian Games baseball event this afternoon. The Chinese team finally managed to get a hit from Lin Yumin in the 6th inning and even scored a point. However, they missed the opportunity to break the egg due to an outrageous base running and made a "double play". They were still trailing 0:2 in the first 6 innings.

The Chinese team had no hits in the first 5 innings. In the 6th inning, Zhu Xudong hit an irregular bouncing ball for the game's first hit, and then relied on ground balls to attack second base. However, Wang Lei's ground ball prevented the second base runner from returning, resulting in a "5-4-6" pinch ball. It even failed to help Wang Lei get a chance to second base. In the end, the Taiwan team caught Wang Lei at "6-5" and ended the half-inning attack with a surprise double play.

Taiwan's ace Lin Yu-min had six hits and six hits in the first two games, with three strikeouts. In the fourth game, he hit 3K in a single game. His precise ball control and sharp changes made the Chinese team's batters completely unable to touch the ball. He only had four hits in the fifth game. After being hit for the first time, China again relied on contact to capture first and second base, but Lin Yumin still made ground balls to get out. The first 6 innings were completed with 65 pitches, allowing only 1 hit, 8 strikeouts and 1 walk-off, and no runs were allowed.
