The determined Gida club was not to be denied because catcher Chen Shih-fong' s (陳世鋒) solo blast off Agan reliever Lincoln Mikelsen in the top of the ninth was the difference in the game.
With the series tied at one game apiece, Sunday night's finale in Kaohsiung also went down the wire.
Agan third baseman Yeh Cheng-lung's (葉成龍) RBI single in the fifth turned out to be the game winner because starter Claudio Galva had all his pitches working to near perfection in the 1-0 complete-game shutout. The left-hander from the Dominican Republic scattered four hits while fanning a season-high 13 to record the Agan's first shutout of the season.
"We could be on to something here, I hope the win gets us out of the cellar for good" Agan skipper Tsai Rong-tsung (蔡榮宗) said of his team's first shutout victory of the year.
