The TSG Hawks unleashed a powerful offensive performance, crushing the Fubon Guardians 13-2 in a dominant home victory at Chengcing Lake Stadium. The Hawks matched a team record by scoring 10 runs within the first five innings, showcasing their explosive batting lineup.

A pivotal moment came in the second inning when Tseng Tzu-yu delivered a bases-clearing triple, sparking a five-run rally. Later, in the fourth inning, "Magic Eagle" launched his eighth home run of the season, a three-run blast that solidified the Hawks' lead and moved him into sole possession of the league's home run crown.

Magic Eagle continued his impressive offensive display throughout the game, contributing a total of four RBIs. His performance included a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning while batting from the right side, adding a dramatic flourish to the lopsided contest. This remarkable hitting spree has seen him break the record for the fastest player to reach 46 RBIs in the league's history, surpassing Carlos Lee's previous mark.

The Hawks' starting pitcher, I-Sut, secured his fifth win of the season, allowing only two runs over five innings. Conversely, Fubon's starter, Abe Yudai, struggled, giving up eight runs in just four innings, marking his first career loss and significantly increasing his ERA. The decisive win places the TSG Hawks in sole possession of second place in the standings, keeping them in close pursuit of the league leaders, the Wei Chuan Dragons.
