Bears starter Zachary Parker (0-2) has given up eight runs and walked nine in the 2 1/3 innings he's thrown in his two starts this season.

Elephants 6 Lions 5 (Tainan) (10)
Peng Cheng-Min went 3 for 5 with four RBIs including the game-winning home run in the top of the tenth inning. Reliever Ryan Cullen pitched the final two innings in picking up the win.

Lions outfielder Kuo Dai-Qi hit a solo homer in the fourth inning and finished up with three hits on the night.

3/24 Result

The Lions beat the Elephants 3-1 in Chiayi due to some strong pitching and clutch hitting. Wang Jing-Ming threw six innings of one run ball to get the win in his CPBL debut. Marshall McDougall hit his second home run of the season while Wang Song-Xian went 3 for 3 with an RBI.

Hurler Orlando Roman picked up the loss in his first CPBL start since 2007, when he was a member of the China Trust Whales.

On a side note, it looks like the Elephants released Ryan Murphy (unconfirmed) to free up a roster spot for Roman. Murphy gave up four runs over 3 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Lions. This was his only CPBL appearance.
