I came in as aping runner for Kenny Oberkfell in the 11th and ended up scoring the walk off run on an Alonzo Powell single. We beat the Astros 7-6.

March 26th, 1986

I got the start vs Bob Forsch and the Dodgers.

Colin Ward was starting for us.

I grounded out to Forsch to open the game.

I got the 2nd out in the bottom half, catching a Mike Marshall pop.

In the 2nd we fell behind when Franklin Stubbs hit a solo shot.

Dodgers lead 1-0.

I came up in the 3rd with two out and dropped a curve into short left for a single. I stole 2nd but stopped there.

In the 4th Stubbs did it again, hitting his 2nd home run of the game!

Dodgers lead 2-0.

I came up in the 5th with none out and Scott Bradley on 3rd and Chili Davis on 1st, now facing Moose Haas. He struck me out. We never managed to push Bradley across.

Mark Davis took over for Ward in the bottom half.

In the 6th the Dodgers struck again as pinch hitter Greg Brock singled home Reggie Williams from 2nd.

Dodgers lead 3-0.

In the 7th Lee Mazzilli struck back, hitting a lead off homer.

Dodgers lead 3-1.

Frank Williams took the mound for us in the bottom half.

I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 8th. Jessie Reid hit a three-run homer for us that inning and we beat the Dodgers 4-3!

I went 1 for 3 with a stolen base. I am hitting .222 so far this spring.
