Brothers' 14-Run Offensive Explosion Sets Season High, Avoids Fastest 9-Loss Record

The Brothers took an early lead in the first inning today with Chen Chun-hsiu's three-run homer. After being tied, Chiang Kun-yu's solo shot broke the deadlock in the third inning, followed by Yueh Tung-hua's two-RBI single and Sung Sheng-jui's two-run homer, creating a five-run rally. Both Chiang Kun-yu and Sung Sheng-jui hit their first home runs of the season. Two more runs were added in the seventh inning.

Brothers' starting pitcher Wei Shao-cheng, in his season debut, gave up three runs in just 1.1 innings before exiting, with an ERA of 20.25 after the game. Foreign pitcher Rick, who transitioned from starting to relief, took over in the third inning, pitching four innings with 82 pitches. He gave up three hits but only conceded one run on Li Hsun-chieh's solo homer in the bottom of the fifth, holding onto the lead.

Having suffered 1 win and 8 losses in their first nine games this season, the Brothers finally clinched their long-awaited second victory today, avoiding tying the league record of 9 losses in 10 games, held by the 1994 Junguo Bears and 1996 Sinon Bulls. However, the victory was shadowed by an incident in the eighth inning when Brothers' pitcher Chiang Chung-cheng was hit by a line drive on his right tibia and collapsed, being helped off the field by teammates.
