March 22nd - Otherwise known as my 18th birthday.
I don't feel much like celebrating. Nestor keeps claiming that I am still his starting shortstop but it is Fran Mullins and Robby Thompson who are getting all the playing time.
And I am finally getting another start!
We have Dennis Eckersley going and we are facing Rob Williams and the Cubs.
I led off the bottom of the 1st by striking out.
In the 2nd we got the lead off a Steve Stanicek two run homer.
Giants lead 2-0.
I came up in the 3rd with one out and lined out to Dave Owen at short.
I made my first defensive play in the 4th, snagging a little fly by Bob Dernier for the 1st out.
Mark Davis took over pitching in the 5th.
I go the 2nd out in the 6th, handling a Reggie Patterson grounder.
I led off the bottom half, facing Patterson, by grounding out to Billie Merrifield at 3rd.
I was pulled in the 7th.
We won 3-0.
I am 2 for 14.
