'Prince of the forest' notching up records

In Hsinchuang, the Whales will take on the visiting Agan (yesterday), today and Sunday.

This is a key series for both teams because the Whales need to win if they are to keep pace with the Lions and Bulls, which are facing weaker opponents this week.

As for Agan, winning the series will move them out of the cellar in the league standings and give skipper Hsu Sheng-ming (徐生明) a chance to regroup his troops after his team's dismal start.

The showdown between the Elephants and the Bulls in Hsinchu (Thursday) and Taichung tomorrow and Sunday should determine how good the Bulls really are this season.
