September 1st, 1986
In Shea to face the Mets in an afternoon game.
They are pitching Sid Fernandez (8-12, 2.71).
The Giants have Willie Fraser (14-5, 3.63).
I have gone 3 for 18 vs El Sid.
I led off the game by working a walk on five pitches. Stolen base #111 quickly followed. I scored on a Mike Aldrete single.
Giant lead 1-0.
I got the 2nd out in the bottom half catching a Dave Magadan pop. I then grabbed a Lenny Dykstra grounder for the 3rd.
The Mets grabbed the lead in the 2nd when Scott Little blasted a three-run homer.
Mets lead 3-1.
I came up with two out in the 3rd and grounded out to Hubie Brooks at short.
In the 4th Little hit into a Priske - Thompson - Stanicek double play to end the inning.
In the 5th I came up with one out and Stanicek on 2nd. I struck out.
In the 6th the Mets widened their lead when Ken Phelps walloped a two-run shot.
Mets lead 5-1.
I came up in the 7th with two out, Robby Thompson in 2nd, and pinch hitter Lee Mazzilli on 1st. I grounded out to Brooks again.
Pat Perry relieved after that. They scored on him when Magadan doubled home El Sid. I grabbed a Dykstra pop for the 2nd out.
Mets lead 6-1.
We got one back in the 9th when Kenny Obekfell scored on a Stanicek sac fly but it ended as a 6-2 loss.
I went 0 for 3 with a walk, a stolen base, and a run scored.
