Lions homerun threat Israel Alcantara went 2-for-3 for the night, including his league-leading 15th long ball of the year, while fellow rookie catcher Kao Chih-kang also went deep (for his first career homer) on a 3-for-4 effort to lead the way for the big cats.
Starter Pan "Du Du" Wei-luen tossed 6-1/3 innings of five-hit ball for the win to improve to 6-4 for the season.
Whales 4, Elephants 4
Chen "the Golden Warrior" Chih-yuan's run-scoring single in the top of the ninth forced a 4-all draw in Tuesday's match between the Elephants and the Whales at Hsinchu.
The Elephants took advantage of a slumping Whales bullpen that failed to preserve a hard-earned lead in a game that featured two lead changes and Whales speedster Chi Jung-lin's 100th career stolen base.
