August 31st, 1986
The Phillies are pitching Charles Hudson (11-9, 3.65).
The Giants are going with Eric Show (9-13, 3.37).
I am a big 7 for 14 vs Hudson.
I kicked off the game by striking out.
The Phillies drew first blood in the 2nd when Greg Jelks singled home Darren Daulton.
Phillies lead 1-0.
I came up with two out in the 3rd and I grounded out to Mike Schmidt at 1st.
In the bottom half Tim Raines slugged a solo homer.
Phillies lead 2-0.
In the 4th Mike Aldrete scored from 1st on a Chili Davis double.
Phillies lead 2-1.
In the bottom half I made my 10th error of the season. It should have been a double play but I threw it away. The worst part is that Dalton later scored on an unearned wild pitch. I caught a Raines pop for the last out.
Phillies lead 3-1.
I came up in the 5th with two out and Denny Walling on 2nd. I walked. Mike Aldrete followed with a double and we both scored! Mike then scored on a Chili single!
Giants lead 4-3.
The lead was short lived as Dalton tripled home Bo Jackson. Then Dalton scored on a Craig Reynolds single.
That was it for Eric as he was lifted for Jeff Robinson.
Phillies lead 5-4.
I got the 1st out in the bottom of the 6th, nailing Raines on a Jackson fielder's choice. The Phils scored again when Von Hayes crossed on a Daulton single.
Phillies lead 6-4.
I came up in the 7th with none out and pinch-hitter Scott Bradley on 1st. John Cerutti was pitching. I blasted one to deep left-centre and hustled to a stand up, RBI triple! I then scored, tying the game, on an Aldrete sac fly!
Game tied 6-6.
Mike Perez took over pitching for us. I go the 1st out for him, handling a Jelks grounder.
Frank Williams took over with two out in the 8th.
I came up with two out in the 9th, facing Willie Hernandez. I put one up the middle for a single. I went to 2nd on stolen base #110. I was left there.
Scott Garrelts relieved for us.
Unfortunately pinch hitter Jim Dwyer blasted a two run homer for the walk-off 8-6 win for Philadelphia.
I went 2 for 4 with a single, a triple, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.
September call-up time! I know a bunch of these guys but some are new.
