JEFF Manday came alive and led San Miguel past Meralco, 15-12, and into the finals of Leg 4 of the PBA 3x3 First Conference Season 2 on Sunday at Robinsons Malabon.
Manday topped the Beermen for eight points as he scored more than half of their output in the win that denied the Bolts a chance of repeating as leg winner.
