May 18th, 1986

Today the Phillies are pitching Kevin Gross (1-3, 4.10).
The Giants are going with Dennis Eckersley (5-1, 2.02).

I have gone 1 for 8 vs Gross.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by grounding out to Juan Samuel at 2nd.

I next came up with two out in the 3rd and hit a liner into right centre for the first hit for us of the day. I then picked up stolen base #33, despite running on a pitchout. I moved to 3rd when Chris Brown reached on an error to Mike Schmidt. Chili Davis then doubled, scoring both of us. (Chili has hit in 15 straight!)

Giants lead 2-0.

In the 4th I was pivot on a nice Oberkfell - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Schmidt and Von Hayes.I then caught a Craig Reynolds popup for the 3rd out.

I also handled the 3rd out in the 5th, taking a Gross grounder.

I led off the bottom half by grounding out to Schmidt at 3rd.

In the 7th I handled a Cliff Johnson grounder for the 2nd out.

I came up in the bottom half with two out and now facing Steve Howe. I hit one up the middle for a single. Next came stolen base #34. I was left on 2nd.

Eck was lifted for a pinch hitter that inning so Scott Garrelts came in to pitch in the 8th. Things didn't go quite as well for him as Darren Daulton hit a solo home run.

Giants lead 2-1.

I got him the 2nd out in the 9th, taking a Hayes grounder. Scott did the rest and we had the 2-1 win!

Great day for me! 2 for 4 with 2 stolen bases and a run scored!

On our off-day Bill Laskey was activated from the D.L. and Curt Brown was sent back to AAA.

Then the Mets are in town!
