The Sinon Bulls swept a three-game series over the Brother Elephants last week to build a 1.5-game lead over the La New Bears at the top of the Chinese Professional Baseball League standings. Sinon broke out the brooms with an 8-6 win over Brother April 19 as Jian-shien “Ugly” Hsieh capped a seven-run second inning with a three-run homer for the Bulls against Elephant ace Yu-cheng “The Golden Submarine” Liao. Sinon is now 10-5-1, while Brother dropped to 5-13.
Meanwhile, the Uni-President Lions topped the La New Bears, 5-0, April 19 to take the rubber match of their three-game series in Tainan. Lions’ righty Mickey Callaway, who pitched in America and Korea before coming to Taiwan, threw 6.1 innings of shutout ball for the win, scattering three hits and striking out six Bears batsmen. Callaway and the Uni-President bullpen halted the Bears’ Chih-sheng Lin’s five-game home run streak. The Bears fell to 9-7, while the Lions are now 9-8-1.
