Yang helps Bulls demolish archrivals

NASTY SLIDER Sinon Bulls starter Yang Jien-fu pitched well into the eighth inning as the Bulls capped a golden week by sweeping the Elephants in a four-game series

By Paul Huang  /  CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

Trailing 3-0 in the top of the ninth, the Bears put runners on second and third with one out on slugger Chen Chin-fong's double off the leftfield wall off Tseng to set up Pan Chung-wei's two-run double that brought home both runners.

Rookie Jiang Chih-tsong then followed with a clutch single off Tseng after the Whales pitcher had gotten the second out of the inning to knot things up at 3-all.

In came a wild Morel in his second game appearance of the day, issuing three walks during the ninth to load the bases before getting out of the jam by inducing a game-ending fly-out to deep-center that had his entire club holding its breath before a collective final sigh of relief.
