June 9th, 1985

The Astros are going with Ray Burris (5-1, 3.67). The Giants are answering with Atlee Hammaker (5-4, 2.42)

Should be good!

I lead off the game by grounding out to Bill Doran at 2nd.

Houston gets off to an early lead when Keith Hernandez knocks Jerry Mumphrey in with one out. I then speared a Doug DeCinces liner for the 2nd out.

Astros up 1-0

In the 2nd I get the 1st out off a Dickie Thon pop.

In the 3rd I came up with two out and nobody on. I thought I had a single by Mumphrey made a nice play in centre to turn it into a fly out.

The game switched up in the 4th when Kenny Oberkfell scored on an error to Thon and Child Davis scored on a Jeff Leonard sac fly.

Giants lead 2-1

Thon made up for his gaffe by tying it back up with an RBI single, scoring DeCinces.

Game tied 2-2

In the 5th I came up with one out and John Castino on 3rd. I struck out.

Later that inning DeCinces hit a massive three run homer. Atlee really fell apart that inning, walking four before Nestor went to Curt Brown with the bags full and only one out. He got Terry Puhl to ground out but at the cost of another run. Then Burris hit an RBI single. Doran hit an RBI single. Mumphrey damn near did but Rob Deer gunned down Burris trying to score from 3rd.

Astros up 8-2.

I got the first out in the 6th off a Hernandez grounder before Jose Cruz hit a two run homer. This is getting ugly. I got the 2nd and 3rd outs on grounders by Thon and Puhl.

Astros up 10-2.

Things nearly got worse in the 7th when Burris plunked Tom O'Malley. He was not happy but 'cooler heads prevailed'. Before the inning was up Sixto Lezcano hit a pinch hit two run homer. I came up right after with two out and grounded out to Doran .

Astros lead 10-4.

Frank Williams took over on the mound for us that inning.

In the 8th Deer hit an RBI single, scoring Kenny O.

Astros lead 10-5.

We got a double play that inning, Castino / Priske / O'Malley to get Cruz and Ron Hassey.

We didn't come back.

27-26

Tomorrow we are in Atlanta. Time to pick up some games.
