September 17th, 1985

Today the Reds are pitching Charlie Puleo (0-1, 9.90).
The Giants have Terry Mulholland (7-10, 5.24).

None of us have ever faced Puleo.

I start the game off by striking out.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and dropped a ball into short right for a single. That is quickly followed by stolen base #114 AND #115. I then score on a Kenny Oberkfell ground out.

Giants lead 1-0.

The lead doesn't;t last long as Dan Driessen hits an RBI double in the bottom half, scoring Eric Davis. Then Eddie Milner scored Tracy Jones and Driessen with a single.

Reds lead 3-1.

It got worse in the 4th when Nick Esasky hit a two run homer.

Reds ;had 5-1.

I led off the 5th by hitting one up the middle for a single. I advanced to 2nd on a Kenny O ground out. Chili Davis walked. I tried to steal 3rd and I was actually thrown out! That doesn't happen very often!

I made my first defensive play that inning, snagging a nice liner by Puleo for the 3rd out.

Mullholland was lifted for Curt Brown in the 6th.

I came up in the 7th with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 1st. Joe Price was now on the mound. I walked. Kenny O hit a triple scoring us both!

Reds lead 5-3.

Mark Davis took the mound for us in the bottom half. He pitched one inning before turning it over to Scott Garrelts in the 8th.

I led off the top of the 9th, now facing Donnie Moore. I grounded out to Bill Russell at 2nd. We were unable to score and lost 5-3.

We are now 74-70.

I went 2 for 4 with a walk, two runs scored, and two stolen bases.

We are back home tomorrow to face the Padres.
