Sierra Salami Too Much for Giants to Swallow
Jonathan Sierra slugged a grand slam HR and walked and scored, and Ismael Mena drilled a two-run double, walked twice, and scored a run, leading the Myrtle Beach Pelicans (Cubs' Lo-A affiliate) to a 10-5 drubbing of the San Jose Giants (Lo-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants) in Cactus League Minor League Camp game action Thursday afternoon on Field #6 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.
Victor Bericoto belted a two-run triple and scored a run for the Giants in a losing cause.
The game was pre-planned as a seven-inning affair.
There was only one home game on the Riverview backfields on Thursday, because South Bend played Eugene in the stadium (Sloan Park).
