June 14th, 1985

The Padres are pitching Tim Lollar (4-6, 4.31). The Giants are using Atlee Hammaker (5-5, 3.00)

Atlee allowed a couple o men on base in the 1st but pitched out of it. I led off the bottom frame by popping out to John Kruk in right.

The wheels fell off in the 2nd. The Padres hit around and knocked in four before we could get out it.

Padres up 4-0.

In the 3rd I was involved in a collision at 2nd as Al Newman tried to take me out to avoid the double play. He broke up the play but it was him who had to leave the game. They got the last laugh, though.

Padres up 6-0

That was it for Atlee as John Castino hit for him that inning. I came up with none out and Castino on 1st. I flew out to Kevin McReynolds in centre.

Curt Brown came it to pitch for us in the 4th.

Rob Deer hit a two run homer for us that inning.

Padres up 6-2.

In the 5th I came up with one out and Curt Brown on 1st. Lollar walked me. Normally that is a very bad thing to do, but this time I had Curt on the base in front of me. We are not able to make anything out of it.

Bob Brenly hit a solo shot in the 6th.

Padres lead 6-3.

I finally got a defensive chance in the 7th... and blew it. A grounder by George Hinshaw turned into an off-line throw and an error. That is 13 on the year. After a walk Curt Brown got the hook and Frank Williams came in, along with Brian Harper in for Jeff Leonard in left with a double switch.
Then Deer in centre followed my lead and bungled an easy one. I took a Terry Kennedy grounder to end it but two error sled to another run for San Diego.

Padres up 7-3.

In the bottom half I came up with two out and nobody on, now facing Dave Rozema. He struck me out.

After pitching the 8th Frank Williams had to come out of the game. There is something wrong with his shoulder. Pat Perry came in to pitch the 9th.
I got a grounder by Ron Roenicke for the 3rd out.

We did nothing in the bottom half to change the outcome.

The Padres beat us 7-3.

And I was still hitless.


After the game Frank Williams went on the D.L. and Bill Laskey was called up.

Also, somewhat surprisingly, Rob Deer was sent down and Terry Harper was called up.
