August 1st, 1986

We all made it past the first trade deadline... too bad Terry didn't make it with us.

Today the Braves are pitching Pascual Perez (5-9, 4.70).
The Giants are going with Willie Fraser (10-4, 4.15).

I have gone 3 for 13 vs Pascual.

We made a nice play in the 1st, getting a Thompson - Priske - Walling double play to get Milt Thompson and Ron Oester.

I led off the bottom half by grounding out to Perez.

(NOTE: the pbp said "and Priske, not a speedster, is out." LIES)

Atlanta scored first when Gary Sheffield knocked in George Hendrick from 2nd in the 3rd.

Braves lead 1-0.

I came up in the 3rd with one out and I grounded out to Sheffield at short.

In the 5th Hendrick scored on a Bob Brenly passed ball.

Braves lead 2-0.

In the bottom half Denny Walling homered for the second straight day.

Braves lead 2-1.

I got the 1st out in the 6th, grabbing an Oester pop. I then took an Andres Galarraga grounder for the 2nd out.

I led off the bottom half by flying out to Hendrick in right. We tied it up when Robby Thompson scored on a Mike Aldrete single. We later took the lead when Mike scored on a Kenny Oberkfell single.

Giants lead 3-2.

Willie took that momentum and retired the side on strikes in the 7th!

I came up with one out in the bottom half, now facing Jeff Dedmon. I grounded out to Galarraga at 1st.

In the 8th we got an insurance run when Chili Davis scored on a Bob Brenly single.

Giants lead 4-2.

Scott Garrelts came in two shut things down in the 9th. I took a grounder from pinch-hitter Joel Youngblood for the 1st out. Scott struck out the next two and we were done with a 4-2 win.

0 for 4 for me today.
