July 4th, 1985

It is the 4th of July and we are in Chicago. Hopefully we can provide the fireworks.

The Cubs are using a rookie who only lasted 2 innings in his first start - Drew Hall (0-1, 27.00)
We are going with a rookie who has done quite a bit better - Colin Ward (5-2, 2.72)

We have won 7 in a row. The Cubs have lost 8 in a row.

I led off and Hall struck me out.

In the 3rd I came up with two out and Chris Brown on 2nd. I flew out to Warren Cromartie in right.

We opened the scoring in the 4th. Terry Harper knocked in both Rob Deer and Bob Brenly with a double.

Giants lead 2-0

I made my first defensive play that inning, taking a grounder from Jody Davis for the 2nd out.

I cam cup in the 5th with two out and nobody on. I outran a grounder to Leon Durham at 1st for a single. I then picked up stolen base #55 AND #56. I was stranded at 3rd.

In the 6th I got Ryne Sandberg at 2nd on a Durham fielder's choice.

Mark Davis took over pitching duties for the Giants in the 7th.

I led off the 8th, now facing Al Holland. I lined out to Cromartie in right.

The Cubs got on the board that inning when Bob Dernier scored Dan Rohn with a double.

Giants lead 2-1.

Ron Davis came in to close things out in the 9th. He gave up a 2-out single but that was all and we have now won 8 in a row.

Giants win 2-1!

I went 1 for 4 with a pair of stolen bases.

42-36!

We trail the Dodgers by 3.5 games and the Reds by 2.5

After the game the organization made a change, calling Mike Aldrete back up from Phoenix and sending Terry Harper down.
