August 11th, 1985
Today the Braves are sending up Pasquel Perez (8-10, 5.41).
The Giants are going with Terry Mulholland (7-7, 5.08).
I am 0 for 4 vs Perez.
I led off the bottom of the 1st by grounding out back to the pitcher.
In the 2nd I was the pivot on a Castino - Priske - Mazzilli double play, erasing Brad Komminsk and Ben Oglivie. In the 3rd I got the 3rd out off an Andres Galarraga grounder.
I came up in the bottom of the 3rd with one out and flew out to Gerald Perry in centre.
In the 5th I came up with two out and Mulholland on 1st. I grounded out to Komminsk at 3rd.
In the 6th I took a Dusty Baker grounder for the 1st out. Atlanta opened the scoring right after that as Reggie Jackson hit a solo blast. Komminsk then grounded out to me for out #2.
Braves lead 1-0.
Davey Concepcion led off the 7th by grounding out to me. Dusty knocked Perry across that inning and Nestor lifted Terry for Mark Davis.
Braves lead 2-0.
In the bottom half we finally got on the board as Bob Brenly hit a solo homer.
Braves lead 2-1.
Scott Garrelts took eh mound for us in the 8th. He induced a grounder to me from Komminsk for the 1st out and from Paul Zuvella for the 3rd.
I led off the bottom half, now facing Ken Dayley, but giving him a little comeback for the 1st out.
In the top of the 9th Perry hit a two out homer to give the Braves an insurance run. Galarraga grounded out to me to end it.
Braves lead 3-1.
3 up, 3 down in the bottom half and we are done.
61-50
I went 0 for 4.
I heard after the game that Jeff Leonard signed to play for Utica - an independent league team.
We have an off day and then the Astros are in town.
