September 26th, 1987

Back home to face the Dodgers. Let's see if we can hold off on being eliminated.

It will be tough as the Dodgers are pitching Fernando Valenzuela (20-5, 1.91).

The Giants have Eric Show (10-14, 3.38).

I am a mere 1 for 26 vs Fernando.

I led off our half of the game by grounding out to Darrell Evans at 1st.

Evans then kicked off the scoring by singling home Tim Wallach from 2nd IN the 2nd.

Dodgers lead 1-0.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and Lee Mazzilli on 2nd. I grounded out to Evans again, moving Lee up a bag. He was stranded.

I made my first defensive play in the 4th, grabbing a Mookie Wilson grounder for the final out.

We got on the board in the bottom half when Chili Davis scored on a Bob Brenly fielder's choice. Later Bob scored on a single by Kenny Oberkfell.

Giants lead 2-1.

I got the 1st out in the 5th, taking a Fernando grounder.

I led off the bottom half by striking out.

In the 6th John Rabb pinch ran for Bob Brenly and scored on a Kenny O single. I came up with two on and two out and struck out again.

Giants lead 3-1.

That was the good news. The bad news was that Rabb pinch ran because Bob had to be taken from the game after legging out his hit. I don't know how bad it is.

Scott Garrelts came in for Eric in the 8th with one out and one on. Right when it looked like he was going to get out of it Robby Thompson threw away the third out, allowing Mike Marshall to score.

Giants lead 3-2.

In the 9th Steve Sax singled home pinch hitter RJ Reynolds with two out to tie the game. Sax scored on a Marshall single to take the lead.

Dodgers lead 4-3.

I led off the bottom of the 9th, now facing Tom Niedenfuer. I walked. Stolen base #135, despite running against a pitch out. I went to 3rd on a Tom O'Malley groundout. I was unable to score and we dropped the game, and were officially eliminated from playoff contention.

I went 0 for 4 with a walk and a stolen base.

On the day we were eliminated, Bob Brenly tore his hamstring. That's a tough end to the season for Bob.
