September 24th, 1985

We are down to a dozen games and would really like to finish above .500.

Today the Giants are pitching Jeff Robinson (9-11, 4.43).
The Padres are going with Dave Dravecky (5-12, 4.23).

I am 3 for 10 vs Dravecky.

I led off here at Jack Murphy Stadium by grounding out to Alan Wiggins at 2nd.

I made the 2nd out in the 2nd, handling a Larry Parrish grounder.

I then made the 1st out in the 3rd off a Randy Ready grounder. Later that inning the Padres opened the scoring when Wiggins singled Mark Gillespie home from 2nd.

Padres lead 1-0.

I led off the 4th by working a walk. Was erased on a Terry Harper fielder's choice.

In the bottom half Parrish hit an RBI double, scoring Kevin McReynolds.
I got Terry Kennedy for the 2nd out.

Padres lead 2-0.

I made the 3rd out in the 5th, taking an Ozzie Guillen grounder.

I came up in the 6th with one out and struck out.

Frank Williams came n for us with two on in the bottom half. He worked out of the jam.

I came up with one out in the 8th. I grounded out to Gerald DeSimone at 2nd.

Mark Davis came on to pitch the 8th for us. He was unable to hold San Diego as Kennedy singled home John Kruk.

Padres lead 3-0.

We couldn't break the goose egg and lost.

We are now 75-76.

I went 0 for 3 with a walk.
