Cuban Giants Down American Giants, 5-3
Fans who congregated at South Side Park were treated to extra-inning drama.

The Miami Cuban Giants clipped the Chicago American Giants, 5-3, in 12 innings at South Side Park. The standout performance belonged to Miami pitcher and Cardenas, Cuba, native José Méndez. Miami reliever Ricky Nolasco picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. A. J. Minter was tagged with the loss.

Miami used a timely hit from Gary Sheffield to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Cuban Giants ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Méndez. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."

The win puts Miami at 3-0.
