Total domination was the best way to describe the Sinon Bulls' 10-0 victory over the First Securities Agan in Kaohsiung last night.
The Bulls hitters let off steam from the off after their 8-4 loss on Thursday night as they took on four different Agan pitchers to collect 14 hits.
Bulls starter Osvaldo Martinez gave up three harmless hits as he cruised through seven shutout innings, before handing the game over to fellow closer Ramon Morel.

Agan starter Hsu Wen-hsiung (許文雄) fell victim to a powerful Bulls lineup as he gave up four runs in as many innings.
Out-of-form Hsu was relieved by three different pitchers, who gave up two runs apiece.

Matheus Cunha on Saturday fired Manchester United toward the UEFA Champions League with a 1-0 win at Chelsea, while Tottenham Hotspur remain in the relegation zone after twice blowing the lead to draw with Brighton & Hove Albion. Chelsea failed to take advantage of a United defense ravaged by injury and suspension as a fourth straight league defeat for the Blues left their Champions League hopes in ruins.
