July 8th, 1986

The Cubs are in town and we are breathing down the necks of the Dodgers and Reds.

The Cubs are pitching Bill Swift (2-12, 5.68).

The Giants are pitching Dennis Eckersley (11-4, 2.14).

HUGE mismatch!

I have gone 2 for 6 vs Swift.

I got the 3rd out of the first frame, taking a grounder from that scumbag Mel Hall.

I led off the bottom half by working a four pitch walk. I scored on a Mike Aldrete double. Mike then scored on a double by Chili Davis.

Giants lead 2-0.

The Cubs came back in the 2nd, scoring Shawon Dunston from 2nd on a Cecil Cooper single.

Giants lead 2-1.

I came up in the 2nd with one out and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I grounded out to Ray Knight at 3rd.

I got the 1st out in the 3rd, catching a Billy Hatcher pop.

I came up with one out in the 5th and I grounded out to Knight again.
Swift then walked the next three batters before Kenny Oberkfell knocked them all in with a double.

Giants lead 5-1!

I came up in the 6th with two out and Mazzilli on 2nd. I grounded out to Knight for the third straight time.

Scott Garrelts came in to pitch the 9th, though it wasn't a save situation. Three batters later we had the 5-1 win!

I went 0 for 3 with a walk and a run scored.

That is five wins in a row and we are now tied with the Reds, a half game behind the Dodgers!
