(Central News Agency reporter Xie Jingwen, Taipei 28th) In the CPBL, the Wei Chuan Dragons defeated the Fubon Guardians 4-2 on Saturday, thanks to Wang Shun-he's two-hit performance, including a two-run homer in the top of the second inning that boosted the team's morale. Wang shared his motto after the game: 'On the baseball field, you need to have ambition; only then will you not be easily defeated when encountering setbacks.'

The Dragons faced the Guardians at Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium. Wang hit a two-run homer in the top of the second inning to give his team the lead, his fourth home run of the season. He added a single in the top of the sixth and scored on a series of hits by teammates. He also drew a walk in the top of the seventh. With two hits and two RBIs, he was named the game's MVP.

Dragons manager Yeh Chun-chang highlighted Wang's home run as a key moment, noting that his at-bat in the fourth inning was also solid. He commented that the current tense situation feels like a playoff atmosphere, with everyone under pressure.

Wang observed that Guardians starter Quinton Martinez speeds up his delivery when runners are on base. In his second-inning at-bat, he was late on the first pitch but quickly adjusted, leading to a good result.

In the fourth inning, Wang hit a deep fly ball to left field, but it was caught by Guardians left fielder Shen Hao-wei in a nice play. Wang said, 'The swing in the fourth felt even better than the one in the second. I thought it might go out, so I started running, but when I looked back, it was an out.'

Wang also mentioned that the team has been in a slump recently, and everyone feels the pressure, but they encourage each other. 'If you show ambition on the field, you won't be easily defeated by setbacks,' he said. He feels that every game recently has felt like a playoff game, and the team's cohesion is getting stronger.
