The biggest reverse so far in the series has been had tonight. Uni-President Lions scored 3 winning runs in top ninth inning and sent fans of Sinon Bulls into no man's island. Although the second game MVP, Osvaldo Martinez, tossed a strong seven innings with ten strikes and allowed no run at all, an unstable bullpen failed to keep the game from collapsing. In the other hand, Lions closer, Michael Garcia, the closer of the year, successfully shutdown Bulls batters in 1 and 2/3 innings and went on the be the winning pitcher of the game.
The game was played again in Hsinchuang Stadium Taipei County with fully loaded ten thousand and five hundred fans. It's yet another game that was won by a guest team. No home team has ever won a game so far in the series.
