April 25th, 1987

I am feeling really good after yesterday.
Let's keep it going today!

Today the Giants have Eric Show (1-1, 6.00) facing the Braves and Norm Charlton (0-1, 6.75).

Charlton is a rookie and it is our first time seeing him.

I led off the game by grounding out to Jeff Blauser at 2nd.

In the bottom half we saved a run with a nice Grich - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Andres Galarraga and Gary Sheffield.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and flew out to Gerald Perry in left.

In the home half I got the 3rd out off a Perry grounder. Turn about and all that.

In the 5th I started a Priske - Grich - Aldrete double play to get Ron Cey and Nelson Santovenia out.

I led off the 6th by wearing Charlton's first pitch fastball. Nasty!
I not only stole base #15 but Santovenia threw it away and I made it to 3rd with none out. I scored on a one out double by Chili Davis. Chili then scored on the same by Steve Stanicek.

Giants lead 2-0

The lead was short lived as Galarraga smashed a two run homer to tie it up.

Game tied 2-2

I came up again with two out in the 7th and struck out.

I made the last out in the inning off a Santoivenia grounder.

The Braves took the lead in the 8th when pinch hitter Ron Gant crossed on a Galarraga double.

Braves lead 3-2

And we never got it back. Disappointing.

We now trail the Reds by a game.

After the game we found out that Willie Fraser was back and Terry Mulholland was sent down.
