Today the Giants (Mark Grant) are taking on the Braves (Rick Siebert).

I didn't start today. I got a pinch hit appearance, which was fruitless.

We lost 4-1.


March 21st, 1987

The Giants (Bruce Ruffin) are facing the Pirates (Rick Rhoden).

I am back in the starting lineup.

I led off the home half by lining out to James McCollom in right.

We got a nice Thompson - Priske - Cockrell double play to get Ozzie Virgil and Bobby Miscik in the 2nd.

The Bucs scored in the 3rd when Chris Speier crossed on a Kirk Gibson single. I caught a Sid Bream pop for the 2nd out.

Pirates lead 1-0.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by flying out to Sap Randall in centre.
We tied it up that inning when Chris Brown scored on a Chili Davis sac fly.

Game tied 1-1

Pat Perry came on to pitch in the 5th.

I came up with two out in the 5th, now facing Fernando Gonzalez. I grounded out to Johnny Ray at 2nd.

I got the 1st out in the 6th off a Gibson grounder.

Curt Brown came in to pitch in the 7th with one out and the bases loaded. He got a strike out but then Bip Roberts singled to score Ozzie Virgil and Sap Randall.

Pirates lead 3-1

Randy Morse came in to pitch in the 8th. I got the first out for him off a Pete Rice grounder.

I was lifted for a pinch hitter that inning.

There was no more scoring.
