Taiwanese Baseball Players Clash as Lin An-ko Gets RBI Against Song Chia-hao in Minor League Game

Taiwanese power hitter Lin An-ko continues his stint with the Seibu Lions' second team, appearing in a recent game as the cleanup hitter and right fielder. In his two at-bats, Lin went hitless but managed to drive in a run and draw a walk. His batting average for the season has now fallen below the .200 mark, currently standing at .176.

Lin An-ko then hit a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring a run. Song Chia-hao's outing continued to be rough as he gave up two more hits before exiting with the bases loaded. The relief pitcher managed to prevent further scoring, but the inning saw one earned run charged to Song Chia-hao.

Ultimately, the Seibu Lions' second team lost the game to the Rakuten Eagles' second team with a score of 2-4. Lin An-ko finished the game 0-for-2 with one RBI and one walk. Song Chia-hao pitched 0.2 innings in relief, allowing three hits, one walk, and one earned run, bringing his ERA to 4.15.
