September 15th, 1985

Today the Braves are pitching Tom Glavine (2-10, 7.64).
We are going with Randy Morse (2-2, 5.75).

Not exactly a Cy Young battle.

I have gone 1 for 4 vs Glavine.

I started off the game by doing something I do very rarely. I hit my 6th ever home run on 3-1 pitch! Boom!

Before the inning was up Brian Harper had knocked Chili Davis across as well.

Giants lead 2-0!

In the bottom half I caught an Andres Galarraga pop up for the 2nd out.

In the 2nd Morse helped the cause by singling home Terry Harper. I came up with Morse on 1st and one out. This time Glavine struck me out. (I think I was over-swinging that time.)

Giants lead 3-0.

In the 3rd Brad Komminsk did what I had done and hit a lead-off homer. I then made the 1st out on a Dave Concepcion grounder.

Giants lead 3-1.

I came up in the 4th with, again, Morse on 1st and one out. I blasted a liner to centre but Gerald Perry snagged it.

I came up in the 6th with two out and Mike Hargrove on 1st. I lined out to Reggie Jackson in right.

Morse had left the game for a pinch hitter so now Frank Williams took over for us. He gave up a single to Dusty Baker but then we completed a nice Oberkfell - Priske - Hargrove double play on Perry to erase him.

The 7th was huge for us.

First Chris Brown was hit by a pitch but then picked off 1st. Then Chili doubled and they intentionally walked Rob Deer. After a wild pitch moved the runners up they intentionally walked Brian Harper. Kenny Oberkfell was then UNintentionally walked, pushing Child across. Then Terry Harper was ALSO walked, to score Deer. Hargrove singled, scoring Brian Harper. Alejandro Sanchez pinch hit for Frank and hit a sac fly, scoring Kenny. They finally lifted Glavine and Duane Ward came it to strike me out.

Giants lead 7-1.

Mark Calvert took over pitching for us. I caught pinch hitter Milt Thompson's pop up for the 1st out. With two out Mark allowed a walk, a hit, and a walk to load the bases. He then gave up a one run single to Reggie. A wild pitch then scored Galarraga. He walked Dusty Baker to reload the bags. Perry grounded out to end it.

Giants lead 7-3.

In the 8th Brian Harper singled Deer home.

Giants lead 8-3.

I came up in the 9th with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 1st. Craig McMurtry was pitching. I singled, moving Lee up a bag. I was erased on a Chris Brown fielder's choice.

Mark Grant pitched the bottom of the 9th for us. He allowed a couple of baserunners but defensive replacement at 1st, Guy Salary, started and finished a Salary - Priske - Salary double play to end the game.

Giants win 8-3!

I went 2 for 6 with a home run!

We are 74-68.

It was nice to see my name on the news. I was even interviewed afterwards!

Tomorrow we are going to Cincinnati.
