August 3rd, 1985

Today we have Jeff Robinson (8-8, 4.32), who is really turning his season around after a rough start.
The Braves are going with Mike Payne (1-6, 5.75).

I am 3 for 4 vs Payne. I really want a big day today.

I led off the game by grounding out to Dusty Baker at 1st... or that is, I would have, but Baker threw it away when tossing it to Payne, covering the bag! I ended up at 2nd on the error. Then Ken Oberkfell singled and I scored! Getting off to a good start!
Then Chili Davis doubled and Rob Deer walked, loading the bases. Then Bob Brenly walked, pushing a run across. Then Mike Hargrove walked, pushing another across! John Castino scored another on a sac fly, Mike Jones struck out and Jeff Robinson singled, scoring Brenly! I came up again, and flew out to centre for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 5-0!

The Braves struck back right away as Davey Concepcion hit a lead off homer. Later Ron Cry singled Andres Galarraga home.

Giants up 5-2.

In the 2nd Concepcion scored Ben Oglivie on a ground out. I got Gerald Perry's grounder for the 3rd out.

Giants up 5-3.

In the 3rd I came up with one out and Robinson on 1st. I fouled out to Baker.

In the home half Galarraga hit a lead off homer.

Giants still lead 5-4.

In the 4th Chili singled and then Payne walked the next FIVE straight batters. Robinson hit into a double play and then I walked. All in all we scored 4 more times, mostly without hitting.

Giants lead 9-4.

In the bottom half I got the 2nd out, taking a Payne grounder. (Why is he still in the game?). Jeff ran out of steam this inning and was replaced by Curt Brown.

In the 5th we got another run, this one off a Brenly sac fly scoring Chili.

Giants lead 10-4.

I got the 3rd out in the bottom half, taking a Baker grounder.

I came up in the 6th, now facing Steve Bedrosian. I rapped a double off the centre field wall. I stole 3rd for #75, but I went in pretty hard. I short visit from the trainer and I walked it off. Kenny O walked and I scored on an infield single by Chili. Then Deer singled, scoring Kenny. Brenly singled, scoring Chili. Hargrove singled, scoring Deer!

Giants lead 14-4!

In the 7th I came up with none out and Mike Jones on 3rd and Lee Mazzilli on 1st. Jeff Dedmon was not he mound. I grounded out, but in a productive way, scoring Jones.

Giants lead 15-4.

Pat Perry took over pitching for us.

In the 8th Mike Jones singled home both Brenly and Hargrove.
I grounded out for the 3rd out.

Giants lead 17-4.

Scott Garrelts took over for us in the 8th. I started a Priske - Rabb - Hargrove double play, getting Dusty and Oglivie.

I also go sth e1st out int he 9th, taking a grounder from pinch hitter Brad Komminsk.

This was a blow out for us.

I only went 1 for 6 but I had an RBI, 2 runs scored, a walk, and a stolen base.

58-46
