August 10th, 1985

After yesterday and am really raring to go today!

The Braves are pitching Rick Mahler (7-11, 4.42).
The Giants are going with Mike Krukow (10-9, 4,16).

I am 0 for 5 vs Mahler but I think that will change today!

I led off the bottom half of the 1st by grounding out to Dusty Baker at 1st.

In the 3rd Gerald Perry took Krukow deep with a man on to open the scoring.

Braves lead 2-0.

In the 4th Ben Oglivie hit a solo shot to give Atlanta another run, while we had yet to reach base.

Braves lead 3-0.

I led off the 4th by grounding out to Ron Cey at 3rd. We finally got a hit, and it was a biggie, as Chili Davis homered.

Braves lead 3-1.

I led off the home half of the 6th by flying out to Perry in centre. I am now 0 for 8 vs Mahler.

Scott Garrelts took over for Krukow with one out in the 8th. It was a double switch, bring in Brian Harper for Kenny Oberkfell at the same time.
Garrelts walked two with two out int he 9th and he got lifted for Ron Davis in another double switch as Tom O'Malley took over for Mike Hargrove at 1st.
With all the switched, maybe I don't get lifted in the 9th.

And I wasn't. I am leading off the 9th, facing Brian Fisher. I flew out to Perry in centre again.

After a great day, a bad day. I went 0 for 4 and we lost 3-1.

61-49
