Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions shortstop Lin Chih-sheng set a Taiwan Series record with 14 assists in a single game, feeding double-play turns and relay throws that held off a late CTBC Brothers rally in an 11-8 Game Four win that tied the best-of-seven championship at two victories each.
How the Lions seized momentum
Lin’s first-inning flip to second on a grounder started a 6-4-3 double play that erased a bases-loaded threat, and he added four assists in the fifth alone as Brothers hitters tried to beat the shift with chop hits. The Lions offense supplied three home runs under the Taipei Dome roof, including a two-run shot by designated hitter Su Ching-hsien that answered a Brothers three-run fourth.
Brothers bullpen cracks
CTBC manager Tsai Hsiao-hung pulled starter Cheng Hao-chun after 68 pitches, but relievers walked four consecutive batters in the sixth, forcing in two runs without a hit. Brothers slugger Wang Wei-tsu homered in the eighth to pull within three, yet Lin initiated the game-ending 4-6-3 force with two on to strand the tying run.
Series schedule shifts
Game Five moves to Tainan on Friday with Lions ace Wang Wei-chung slated against Brothers lefty Lin Yu-min. CPBL officials said dome air-conditioning settings will be reviewed after pitchers complained about swirling fly balls near the ceiling lights on Tuesday.
Cheng-Han Pan, InfoHandle’s sports desk, said Lin’s defense changed pitch sequencing; Brothers’ analytics chart showed 38 percent chase rate on sliders away after Lin’s early double play. Attendance hit 18,442, the largest indoor crowd this series.
What’s next
The winner needs two more games in the best-of-seven set. Uni-Lions fans booked charter buses to Tainan within an hour of the final out, while Brothers supporters argued for moving a potential Game Six back to Taipei if weather threatens southern fields.

County agencies and market desks will update guidance through the week as official statistics and hearing calendars firm up. Check the source links on this story for the latest filings rather than recycled social posts.
InfoHandle will follow up if regulators publish revised notices, if auction or enrollment deadlines move, or if emergency orders change travel and clinic hours in the affected areas.
Local context
Shop owners, clinic managers, and school administrators said they are sharing official links in LINE groups so residents see the same numbers civil servants quote at briefings. That matters because mixed messages during typhoon makeup weeks or enrollment surges can strand people who miss a single deadline by one day.
Lawmakers from both camps told InfoHandle they want clearer timestamps on government PDFs; several bills filed this month would require agencies to stamp update times in the header block.
