San Francisco (AZL) Giants catcher Bobby Ponce had a day to remember at Sloan Park, ripping apart the Chicago N (AZL) Cubs and sparking the 9-1 Giants win.

Ponce wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-5.

"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Ponce told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid it."

Bobby Ponce hit a GRAND SLAM off John Benzie in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off John Benzie in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.

In this current campaign Ponce is hitting at a .318 clip with 4 home runs and 17 RBIs.
