Lin Tsong-nan's walk-off single with runners on second and third proved decisive as the Sinon Bulls earned a 4-3 win over the President Lions in Taichung on Monday.
Trailing 2-3 at the start of the ninth after the Lions had scored two in the top of the eighth on a solo home run by Kao Guo-ching and an RBI-double by Chen Lien-hong, the Bulls loaded up the bases against Lions closer Ricky Stone with a pair of walks and a single with one out to set the stage for Yeh Jung-chang’s sacrifice-fly that tied the game at 3-3 before Lin’s game-winning swing.
Chen Chih-wei’s solo blast off Lions starter Jose Espinal broke a scoreless tie in the top of the fifth before a throwing error on a would-be inning-ending double play made it 2-0 to the Bulls.

Instead, the Bulls’ Yang Jien-fu earned his second win of the year for pitching a scoreless ninth while the Lions’ Stone was hit with the loss for squandering the lead in the ninth.
