Brothers Edge Lions in Thrilling Comeback Win
The Chinatrust Brothers secured their first consecutive victories of the season with a dramatic late-inning rally against the Uni-President Lions on Thursday, April 23, 2026.
Trailing for much of the game, the Brothers erupted for six runs in a single inning to overturn a deficit and claim the win. Sung Sheng-rui delivered the decisive blow with a powerful three-run home run that ignited the comeback.
Earlier in the contest, the Brothers struggled at the plate, retiring the side in order without a baserunner through the first five innings against the Lions’ new foreign pitcher. Manager Hiromichi Plata acknowledged the challenge, stating it was necessary to study adjustments for future matchups.
Despite the early dominance by Lions’ pitching, Brothers’ relievers received strong support from the bench, with Plata noting the energetic atmosphere in the dugout during pitching changes.
Sung Sheng-rui’s performance continued to stand out, as he not only contributed the game-winning hit but also reached the milestone of 100 RBIs plus 100 walks for the season, drawing praise from peers who described him as a valuable teammate and friend to catcher Luo Ge.
The victory marked a turning point for the Brothers, who had previously been held scoreless through 15 innings by the Lions’ new import. The win improves their standing and adds momentum as they look to build on this breakthrough performance.
