Asia Series:
After finding themselves down 4-0 after 4 1/2 innings and 4-3 after 8 1/2 innings, the President Lions needed 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat the CBA champs 7-4. Keyed by OF Wu-Hsiung Pan's walk-off 3-run HR in the bottom of the 9th, the Lions saved themselves from a potentially embarrassing upset. Yi-Cheng Tseng picked up the victory for the Lions while OF Fu-Hao Liu smacked a leadoff HR in the 5th to key a 3-run inning.
