May 6th, 1987

Richard Dotson (2-3, 5.51) and the Cubs are in town to face Bryan Hickerson (1-1, 5.03) and the Giants.

I have gone 1 for 3 vs Dotson.

I led off the home half and I flew out to Billy Hatcher in centre.
Steve Stanicek did a little better, powering out a two run homer.

Giants lead 2-0

I got Mel Hall's grounder for the 1st out in the 2nd.

In the bottom of the 2nd Bobby Grich went deep for a solo shot!

Giants lead 3-0

I got Dotson out on a Marvell Wynne fielder's choice for the 2nd out in the 3rd. I then got a Juan Beniquez grounder for the 3rd out.

I led off our half by striking out.

The Cubs got on the board in the 6th when Hall singled home Wynne from 2nd.

Giants lead 3-1

I led off our half by grounding out to Mike Brumley at short.

In the 8th Hall struck again as he hit a sac fly to score Beniquez.

Giants lead 3-2

I came up with one out in the 8th and Alan Cockrell on 1st. I flew out to Hatcher again. Before the inning was up, Alan scored on a Chili Davis single. Then Mike Aldrete and Chili scored on a Single by Steve.

Giants lead 6-2

Dennis Eckersley took over for us in the 9th.
Three outs later, we had the win.

Good win for us, but I went 0 for 4.

We have the lead back as the Reds lost!
