Pierson Torches Knights for 5 Hits
Salem second baseman Bryan Pierson had a big day at Salem Stadium today against the Duluth Knights. The 24-year-old, who is not typically considered a big threat with the bat, went 5-for-6 and led the Cherries to a 29-2 triumph over Duluth.

"Hey, I'm as surprised as you guys are," Pierson said in his postgame comments, smiling as he scolded the press corps for underestimating him. "Maybe I'm not so bad at the plate after all."

Bryan Pierson hit a solo-shot off Eric Wilder in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Eric Wilder in the 3rd, hit a three-run double in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 6th, was hit by a pitch in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

Pierson is batting .424 this season in 43 games with 10 home runs, 27 RBIs and 26 runs scored. He has 50 hits in 118 at-bats.
