6/22/6: 2006: Panners work extra for Sun win - "It wasn’t the first game-winning hit of Chu Yuan-Chin’s burgeoning career.  But it may have been the most dramatic, as the Taiwanese newcomer for the Alaska Goldpanners slapped a single to center field scoring pinch runner Lan Shao-Bai for a 2-1, 10-inning win over the Beatrice, Neb., Bruins that sent another huge crowd home happy in the 101st Midnight Sun Game. “This is the most exciting (game-winner) I ever hit,” said Chu, whose style is already drawing comparisons to Seattle Mariners’ Japanese star Ichiro Suzuki, through an interpreter.

6/15/6: 2006: Panners get off to fast start against Stars - "Chu Yuan-Chin from Taiwan led the offense with four hits and three runs batted in as a small, but festive, Goldpanners crowd was introduced to the speedy centerfielder’s skills. Chu, one of three Panners players recruited from the Taiwanese collegiate championship team, rapped a triple and three singles. With the bases loaded in the third, the left-handed hitter ripped a drive that had grand slam distance had he not pulled it foul. A few pitches later he settled for a two-run single."
