Cobras won their first ever seasonal championship yesterday. Lin, Ying-Chieh pitched eight strong innings allowing only two hits and Lin, En-Yu closed the last one. Together they delivered a shutout, giving Cobras a 4-0 win over Bulls. The game was also the first ever "extra" game, or one-game playoff, played to decide which team should claim the seasonal championship, due to both teams had the same performance during the first-half season. Cobras is still under a record-breaking winning streak; currently counting to eight. What amazed me the most is that they have three outstanding native pitchers, which perhaps is the most significant reason why they win the championship and are keeping the winning streak.
