In Philadelphia today. The Giants are pitching Atlee Hammaker (10-12, 3.32).
The Phillies are going with Charles Hudson (10-6, 3.68).

I have never faced Hudson.

I changed that in my favour, leggings out an infield hit to open the game! On out later I picked up stolen base #91. I was left there.

In the bottom half Tim Raines belted a two out solo homer.

Phillies lead 1-0.

I came up in the 2nd with two out and the bases jacked. Tom O'Malley was on 3rd. Fran Mullins on 2nd. Mike Jones on 1st.
I singled into right and both Tom and Fran scored!

Giants lead 2-1.

The Phils got it back in the bottom half when Barry Bonnell singed Von Hayes in. Then they ripped it open when Juan Samuel smacked a three-run homer.

Phillies lead 5-2.

In the 4th we ended thing with a nice Mullins - Priske - O'Malley double play to get Bonnell and Steve Jeltz.

I led off the 5th by blasting own to deep centre but Hayes got there to record the out.

We made it close again in the 6th. Fran Mullins cashed in Rob Deer with a sac fly and Lee Mazzilli hit a pinch hit RBI single to score Bob Brenly. I grounded out to end it.

Phillies lead 5-4.

Frank Williams took the mound for us in the bottom half. He gave up a run when Mike Schmidt singled him Raines.

Phillies lead 6-4.

In the 7th Chili Davis smashed a two-run homer and it was a whole new ballgame!

Game tied 6-6!

After a couple of pinch hitters got in to no avail, Scott Garrelts took over pitching and Chris Brown stayed in to play 3rd, moving Kenny Oberkfell to 2nd for Mullins in the 8th.

I was set to lead off the 9th but, you guessed it, I was pinch hit for by Brian Harper. This was a little disappointing because I was having a decent day at the plate. It paid of, though, because not only did Harper single, but Rob Deer hit a two run homer to take the lead!

We won 8-6!

We are 63-58.

I went 2 for 4 with a pair of RBI and a stolen base!
