After dropping the first two games of the series in front of a home crowd, the Bears shutdown the Whales 7-0 Saturday before rounding out the week with an impressive 6-1 rout.

Veteran pitcher Liang Rue-hao was sharp in his first start of the season -- only surrendering a first-inning run on two singles and a walk.

Reliever Lee Fong-hua came in in the third inning, keeping the Whales bats in check with five frames of shutout ball before fellow bullpen mate Tsai Ying-fong succeeded him with scoreless eighth and ninth innings.
