May 3rd, 1986

Today the Cubs are pitching Bill Swift (0-3, 3.41).
The Giants have Dennis Eckersley (3-1, 2.18).

I am 1 for 1 vs Swift!

Let's get it in!

I led off the home half of the 1st by grounding out to Ray Knight at 3rd.

In the 2nd I started a nice Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to get that scuzzy Mel Hall and Shawon Dunston.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and flew out to Hall in left.

I came up in the 5th with two out and John Rabb on 2nd. I fouled out to Cecil Cooper on the 1st base side.

In the 6th we finally got on the board when Chili Davis smacked a solo bomb.

Giants lead 1-0.

Jeff Robinson relieved for Eck in the 8th (and Steve Stanicek came in for Lee Mazzilli in a double switch. Tom O'Malley also replaced Mike Aldrete in a defensive move.)

I came up in the 8th with none out and Stanicek on 1st. Dennis Lamp was pitching. I flew out to Mickey Hatcher in centre.

I mad even more defensive play - an easy grounder from Hatcher - to get the 3rd out in the 9th to finish off our 1-0 win.

Not a great day at the plate, but that goes for nearly everybody in a great pitching duel.

We are now 16-8 and... in sole possession of 1st place in the NL West!
