WORCESTER, Mass. - The roughly 1,000 fans at Hanover Insurance Park at Fitton Field gazed in amazement when Chinese Taipei's starter Kao-Chen Chu delivered his submarine style warm-up pitches and for good reason.

Chu struck out 10 and allowed only one walk in six scoreless innings pitched to lead the Chinese Taipei national baseball team to a 4-0 exhibition victory against the Worcester Bravehearts on July 28 at Fitton Field.

Worcester starter Jordan Versteeg took the loss after walking in a run in the first inning. In just two innings pitched, Versteeg walked three batters, struck out two and gave up two hits.

Taiwan second baseman Han Lin helped tack on some insurance in the fifth inning with an RBI triple to right field off recent St. John's High School graduate Steven D'Agostino. Lin finished 2-4 and later scored in the fifth on an RBI single by Po-Jung Wang.

D'Agostino, who was just signed for the scrimmage, allowed two runs on three hits in three innings pitched. He is also an incoming freshman at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Worcester manager Justin Edwards and assistant coach Casey Cummins pitched the remaining four innings combined. Edwards struck out four in 2.2 innings pitched and gave up a run on two hits. Cummins pitched a scoreless 1.1 innings with two strikeouts.

The Bravehearts struck out a combined 13 times and could only produce five hits offensively.

Douglas, Mass., native Nate Pajka and Bravehearts second baseman Darian Ramage each recorded two hits in the game.

The Bravehearts will hit the road for a matchup against the Martha's Vineyard Sharks at 7 p.m.

July 29 at Vineyard Baseball Park in Oak Bluffs, Mass.
