Pitcher Huang Tzu-peng delivered a stellar performance, pitching 7 innings and allowing only 1 unearned run, to lead the Tsin Tai Eagles to their third consecutive victory. The Eagles defeated the Wei Chuan Dragons 2-1 in a game that included a rain delay of over an hour. Both starting pitchers, Huang and Wei Chuan's Steel Dragon, continued their outings after the weather interruption.

Huang's personality is really nice. He never says anything. If it were a foreign pitcher, he might have already jumped up.

The Dragons took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning due to consecutive throwing errors by the Eagles' infielders. However, the Eagles rallied in the seventh inning. Wang Po-hsuan was hit by a pitch, and Lan Yin-lun followed with a timely double to tie the game. Nagata Satoru then delivered a go-ahead RBI single with two outs, giving the Eagles a 2-1 lead.

Eagles' manager Hung Yi-chung praised Huang's resilience and character, noting that the pitcher rarely complains despite limited offensive support. Hung contrasted Huang's attitude with that of foreign pitchers, suggesting they might have reacted more strongly to similar situations. He commended Huang for his determination to finish the game, stating, "If we have to lose, I want to lose on my own terms."

I always encourage them, go out and pitch bravely. Don't lose to yourself. It's nothing scary to lose to an opponent. It's not okay if you defeat yourself.

Closer Wei Hung-liang secured his first career save in the ninth inning, navigating a bases-loaded jam with one out before inducing a game-ending double play. Manager Hung encouraged his pitchers to be brave on the mound, emphasizing that losing to an opponent is less concerning than losing to oneself. The Eagles' current three-game winning streak highlights their improving form.
