Uni-Lions foreign pitcher Jordan held the Hawks scoreless through six innings. That ended the game’s sixth inning with TSG having officially broken its previous franchise record of 25 consecutive scoreless innings, set from May 4 to May 10, 2024.

After Jordan left the game, the Uni-Lions used Chun-Sheng Hsin, Masaki Takashio and Yun-Hua Chung in relief. Together, they completed the shutout, extending the Hawks’ scoreless run to 29 innings.
