[Special Correspondent Wu Mengru/Nagoya Report] Taiwan’s ace pitcher Lin Yu-min scored 10K points in 8 innings against the Chinese team in the Nagoya Asian Games baseball bronze medal game today, leading the team to win the baseball bronze medal 5:1. He scored 90 points for his performance and enjoyed every moment of wearing the national team jersey. He called playing the national team game "very happy!"

Lin Yumin, who lives in the United States, has competed in almost all international competitions in recent years. From the last Hangzhou Asian Games, Top 12, and Classic Games, he also participated in the Nagoya Asian Games this year with the team. He laughed and said that playing for the national team is a very enjoyable thing. "After all, not everyone can play like this for so many times, or almost always have the time to play, so I feel very lucky and I feel very happy."

Lin Yu-min was limited by the team's pitching limit of 90 pitches, but ended up pitching 81 pitches and pitching 8 scoreless innings. He became a key figure in Taiwan's success in winning the bronze. He said: "Actually, it was a bit unexpected. I would say because China is very good, they probably pitched six or seven innings. Of course, I didn't think about how many innings I had to pitch, but I just attacked the strike zone as much as possible and let them swing the bat."

Although he completely suppressed China, Lin Yumin gave himself a score of 90. "Maybe it was a pity that there was a walk and a touch ball in the inning, but I feel that overall, I completed my job and completed it very well, allowing the batter to move and attack with confidence."
