June Mar Fajardo regained some semblance of his beastly self as San Miguel downed Ginebra, 115-109, in Game 5 of the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup semifinals at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Bothered by a shoulder injury in the past three matches, Fajardo finally breached double-digit in scoring again with 21 points while also collaring 11 rebounds as the Beermen take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
