August 14th, 1986

Today the Reds are pitching Andy Hawkins (6-6, 5.75).
The Giants are going with Bruce Ruffin (10-6, 2.89).

I have gone 2 for 8 against Hawkins, and one of those was a home run!

I kicked off the game by playing out to Eric Davis in centre. However, Mike Aldrete followed with a double and then Chili Davis smacked a two-run bomb!

Giants lead 2-0!

I led off the 3rd by pushing one past shortstop for a single. Then came stolen base #92. I moved to 3rd on a one out groundout by Chili. Then it was Rob Deer's turn to go deep! Another two runs!

Giants lead 4-0!

The Reds got not he board in the bottom half when Davis singled home Al Newman from 2nd. Then Ryne Sandberg doubled, scoring both Dwight Evans and Davis. It gets worse. Tim McIntosh doubles, scoring Sandberg and Kal Daniels. Then Hawkins, of all people, doubled home McIntosh.

Reds lead 6-4.

In the 4th Robby Thompson scored on a Bob Brenly fielder's choice. I came up with two out and Bob on 1st. Bob actually stole 2nd during my at bat... but I was then walked. We were both left.

Reds lead 6-5.

In the 6th we took the lead back when pinch hitter Lee Mazzilli smacked a two run home run of reliever Rob Murphy! I followed that by walking again. Stolen base #93 followed. I was left there.

Giants lead 7-6!

Jeff Robinson came it to pitch for us in the bottom half. I got him the 1st out, taking a grounder by Will Clark.

In the 7th Robby Thompson tripled home Denny Walling!

Giants lead 8-6.

In the 8th I came up with two out and Ron Robinson pitching. I struck out.

Scott Garrelts came in to try and grab a two inning save. Things didn't go well right away as Clark doubled home Newman. I took a Sandberg grounder for the 2nd out, holding Evans at 3rd.

Giants lead 8-7.

I got him the 1st out in the 9th, taking a McIntosh grounder. I then did the same against defensive switch Wade Rowden. We got the last guy and the 8-7 win.

I went 1 for 3 with a single, two walks, a run scored, and two stolen bases.

Good day!

But now, from tough to tougher as we are heading home to face the Dodgers!
