April 22nd, 1986

Today the Dodgers are pitching Bob Forsch (2-0, 1.29).
The Giants are using Eric King (1-1, 1.80).

I have gone 0 for 2 vs Forsch.

I NEED to bounce back from yesterday.

I got the 1st out of the game, making a leaping grab on a Steve Sax liner.

I led off our half by bouncing one through the right side for a single. I worked stolen base #6 on a run & hit. Kenny Oberkfell then singled and I scored from 2nd. Before the inning was up, Kenny O had scored on a Mike Aldrete double and Rob Deer scored on a Bob Brenly single.

Giants lead 3-0.

In the 2nd I was the pivot on a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Sid Bream and Tim Wallach out. After that Mike Marshall scored on a Franklin Stubbs single.

Giants lead 3-1.

Tha tinnign I came up with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I shot one through the right side again! Mazzilli scored and I moved to 2nd on the throw! I was thrown out trying to steal 3rd.

Giants lead 4-1.

We got through the 3rd without giving up a run, but it is notable that Steve Sax has now hit in 25 straight games.

In the 4th Marshall hit a lead off home run.

Giants lead 4-2.

I came up with two out and Robby Thompson and Mazzilli both in scoring position. I singled to right AGAIN! Robby scored! Lee went to 3rd!

Giants lead 5-2!

Mark Davis relieved for us in the 7th.

I led off the bottom half, now facing LaMarr Hoyt. This time I singled to left! FOUR HITS! I went to 2nd on a Kenny O grounder. I tried to score on a Rob Deer single with two out but I overextended.

I got the 2nd out in the 9th off a Sid Bream grounder.

We beat the Dodgers and I went FOUR FOR FOUR!!

I got thrown out twice. I think I was a little keyed up.
