September 8th, 1985

Today the Expos are pitching David Palmer (3-11, 5.38).
The Giants are using Atlee Hammaker (11-12, 3.40).

I am 0 for 3 vs Palmer.

I got the 3rd out in the first frame, making a good play on a Gary Carter grounder.

I led off the bottom half by hitting a roller over the bag into centre. Kenny Oberkfell nearly hit into a double play but Toby Harrah screwed it up and we were both safe. I ran to 3rd for stolen base #106! Palmer struck out the next three and I was left there.

In the 3rd I got the 3rd out again, this grounder was by Pat Tabler.

I came up in the bottom half with one out and worked a walk. I moved to 2nd on a Kenny O ground out. That's as far as I got.

I took a Dale Murphy grounder for the 1st out in the 4th. I pivoted a Mullins - Priske - Mazzilli double play to get Al Cowens and Carter to end it.

I led off the bottom of the 6th by grounding out to Harrah at 2nd.

I got Carter for the 1st out in the 7th, handling an easy grounder. I did the same to Tim Wallach for the 3rd.

I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 8th. It was still 0-0. To be fair, Mike Hargrove did hit a sac flay in that spot to score the only run.

We won 1-0.

70-65

I went 1 for 2 with a walk and a stolen base.

Atlee got the shut out!

Tomorrow we are in Houston!
