July 31st, 1985

Randy Morse is going to make his major league debut for the Giants today. He is replacing the injured Colin Ward.

The Dodgers are using Rick Honeycutt (7-7, 5.00).

I am 3 for 8 vs Honeycutt.

I led off the game by grounding out to Steve Sax at 2nd.

Interestingly, Sax led off the bottom half by grounding out to me. I also got Mike Marshall for the 2nd out and Pedro Guerrero for the 3rd. Busy inning!

In the 2nd Mike Jones knocked Mike Hargrove in to give us the lead.

Giants lead 1-0!

I was the pivot on an Oberkfell - Priske - Hargrove double play to get Candy Maldonado and Steve Braun to end the inning.

I led off the 3rd by grounding out to Braun at short. Sixto Lezcano smacked a two-run homer that frame.

Giants lead 3-0!

In the bottom half my busy day continued as I took a grounder by Jeffrey Brown for the 1st out.

In the 4th the Dodgers got on the board when a sac fly by Maldonado scored Guerrero. Darrell Even followed with a solo homer.

Giants still up 3-2.

I led off the 5th by grounding out to Sax again.

In the bottom half Marshall singled in Wayne Gross to tie the game.

Game tied 3-3.

In the 6th Maldonado hit a solo homer to give L.A. the lead. Evans grounded out to me for the 1st out.

Dodgers lead 4-3.

Mark Davis took over for Morse in the 7th.

I led off the 8th by taking an inside pitch off the arm. I moved to 2nd on a wild pitch and then 3rd on a ground out by Chris Brown. I scored the tying run off a Sixto single.

Game tied 4-4.

That was short lived as Maldonado singled Guerrero across in the bottom half.

Dodgers lead 5-4.

Kenny Oberkfell led off the 9th with a triple off Tom Niedenfuer! Mike Hargrove grounded out to the mound. Mike Jones put one over the right field wall and we had the lead back! I came up with one out and Tom O'Malley on 1st. The L.A. closer struck me out.

Giants lead 6-5!

Ron Davis came in to try and do what Niedenfuer couldn't. I got the first out, taking a grounder from pinch-hitter Sid Bream. Two batters later, we had the win!

56-46

We have an off-day tomorrow, then we are in to Atlanta.
