It was a game that full of drama and probably also the most memorable one in CPBL history. Lions had a three runs homer in the bottom third inning but score were evened after five innings. Both teams had their best available pitchers on the mount during sixth to ninth innings. It was Jeffery Louis Andra and A-Fu for Bulls and Michael Garcia for Lions. As the best closer in the league, Garcia came out early, maybe too early because he apparently could not afford all the long and intense four innings and was relieved in the top ninth when two out and two on base. That's also when the Bulls scored the final two winning runs and then A-Fu finished the game. It's the first CPBL championship for Sinon Bulls in the club's nine years old history.
The game played again in Lions home field but as the previous six games, no home team has ever won. There is no home advantage at all in Taiwan Series, but anyway, both clubs are big winners in ticket sale because all the seven games had fans on both sides fully loaded.
