I made my first defensive play in the 3rd when I made a pretty niece catch on a Hudson liner.

I got the last out in the 4th by dealing with a Raines grounder.

In the bottom frame Chili Davis pinch hit singled home Terry Harper. I made the last out off the inning on a groundout.

Scott Garrelts took over for us in the 5th. I was the pivot on a Rabb - Priske - O'Malley double play behind him.

I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 7th.
