Finally!

I am starting against Ron Darling and the Mets!
Terry Mulholland is going for us.

I got into it right away, taking a Gerald Young grounder for the 1st out.
Then a Herm Winningham grounder for the 2nd out.

I led off the home half by singling into centre. I then was thrown out trying to steal on a pitch out.
THIS is why I need playing time!

The Mets open the scoring in the 2nd when Billy Beane doubles, scoring Joe Redfield.

Mets lead 1-0.

Terry had some real control problems in the 4rd, with multiple wild pitches and a hit-batsman before Kevin Mitchell singled home Young.

Mets lead 2-0.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and John Rabb on 2nd. I flew out to Mitchell in left.

In the 4th I got the 2nd out, taking a Darling grounder.

Randy Morse took the mound for us in the 5th.

I came up that inning with two out and the base loaded... and struck out.

Mark Grant took the mound for us in the 6th.

I got the 2nd out in the 8th, off a Steve Kemp grounder.

I was pulled for a pinch hitter that inning.

I went 1 for 3.

We lost 2-1.
