Hsu Wen-hsiung pitched 6-1/3 innings of shutout ball, Lin Chih-sheng drove in a run on a 2-for-3 night, and the La New Bears edged past the Sinon Bulls in a 2-1 thriller at the Kaohsiung County Baseball Stadium on Tuesday.
The pair proved their worth with a three-hit gem by Hsu and Lin knocking in the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh with a clutch double to help the top-ranked Bears open a one-game lead over the Lions.

The Bulls broke through in the eighth with a run of their own and threatened to tie the game with runners on first and second and two outs in the top of the ninth before Jermaine Van Buren induced a comebacker to the mound for the game-ending groundout.
