Bulls reliever Jorge Cortez allowed the leadoff man to reach first to start off the bottom of the 10th, then managed to put away the next three Cobras to preserve Picota's league-best 16th win of the season.
The win not only prevented the Bulls from being swept by the serpents, but it also kept them from taking a two-game lead over the Bulls.
Also showing signs of title contention were the President Lions with their 3-1 series victory over the Chinatrust Whales.
The big cats defended their home turf by beating the marine creatures with a pair of 5-2 wins in Tainan after the two teams had split the first two contests of their four-game set last week.
Closer Mike Garcia picked up two saves in both Lions wins to come within a save of the Whales' Dario Veras, who leads the league in total saves with 22 for the year.
