Today the Braves are pitching Len Damian (1-0, 0.00)

The Giants are answering with Eric Show (1-1, 5.40)

I am 0 for 3 vs Damian.

I led off the home half by grounding out to Ron Cey at 3rd.

The Braves opened the scoring in the 3rd when Milt Thompson doubled home Damian - who was on by an error by Chris Brown.

Braves lead 1-0

I came up in the bottom half, with two out and Brown on 2nd. I singled through the left side and Chris scored! League leading 10th stolen base. Mike Aldrete singled and I scored.

Giants lead 2-1

In the 4th Nelson Santovenia smashed a three run homer.

Braves lead 4-2

Steve Stanicek led off our half with a solo shot.

Braves lead 4-3

In the 5th I came up with one out and Bobby Grich on 3rd. I grounded out to Gary Sheffield at short, but he threw it away and I ended up on 2nd, with Bobby scoring. (Aside - the official scorer didn't give me an RBI, though Bobby definitely would have scored anyway. Oh well.)
I stole 3rd for #11 and Santovenia threw it up the lien so I scored on his error.

Giants lead 5-4

I made my first defensive play in the 6th, grabbing a Jeff Blauser grounder for the final out.

The Braves tied it back up in the 7th when John Castino tripled, scoring Santovenia with one out.
Jeff Robinson took over for us after that. He gave up an immediate single to Thompson, scoring Castino.

Braves lead 6-5

In the bottom half I came up with one out, pinch runner Brian Giles on 2nd, and pinch hitter Tom O'Malley on 1st. Ed Vande Berg was pitching. I put one into left centre to tie the game with an RBI single! Nestor brought John Rabb in to run for Tom and it paid off as Aldrete singled and Rabb scored! Then Chili Davis singled and I scored! Stanicek followed with a HUGE three-run homer! Not to be outdone, Rob Deer made it back-to-back jacks!

Giants lead 12-6!

Brian stayed in at 3rd and John stayed in at 2nd. Frank Williams came in to pitch.
Sheffield took his first pitch out of the park.

Giants lead 12-7

I came up in the 8th with one out and Steve Farr on the mound. I struck out.

The Braves got a couple of base runners in the 9th but Frankie shut them down and we had the win.

Sweet day for me. 2 for 5 with 3 runs scored, 2 RBI (should have been 3), 2 stolen bases. By batting average is up to .250.
