September 28th, 1985

We are in L.A. and facing Orel Hershiser (18-6, 2.95).
The Giants are pitching Atlee Hammaker (13-13, 3.51).

I am 1 for 9 vs Orel.

The Dodgers are on an 8-game winning streak.

I started off the game by grounding out to Mariano Duncan at short.

In the bottom half I got the 3rd out, handling a grounder by RJ Reynolds.

In the 3rd I came up with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 3rd and Mike Hargrove on 2nd. I grounded out to Duncan again, but this time I got an RBI as Lee crossed.

Giants lead 1-0.

In the 5th the Dodgers got on the board when Hershiser scored on a Mike Marshall ground out. Later Duncan scored on a Pedro Guerrero ground out. I took another Reynolds grounder to end it.

Dodgers lead 2-1.

I led off the 6th by striking out.

In the bottom half I started a Priske - Castino - Hargrove double play to erase Mike Scoscia and Dave Anderson to end the inning.

With two out in the 7th Atlee got pulled in a double switch (with Brian Harper replacing Kenny Oberkfell), when he gave up a double to Duncan. Mark Davis came in and got the out on one pitch.

I came up in the 8th with one out and flew out to Franklin Stubbs in right.

We were unable to scratch that last run across and lost 2-1.

We are now 76-78.

I went 0 for 4 with an RBI.
