We are at Shea to face the Mets!

They are pitching Sid Fernandez (3-1, 2.06).

The Giants are going with Eric Show (2-4, 5.56).

I have gone 3 for 21 vs big Sid.

I kicked off the game by striking out.

I got the 1st out on the other side by taking a Gerald Young grounder.
With two out Darryl Strawberry put one in the seats. Then Jim Dwyer doubled home Kevin Mitchell. Carlton Fisk tripled, scoring Dwyer.

Mets lead 3-0

I came up with two out in the 3rd and grounded out to Hubie Brooks at short.

In the bottom half I grabbed a Dwyer liner for a nice 2nd out.

We got on the board in the 5th when Chris Brown doubled home Rob Deer.

Mets lead 3-1

I led off the 6th by striking out again.

In the 7th we got another when Rob scored on a Bobby Grich sac fly.

Mets lead 3-2

I led off the 8th, now facing Jesse Orosco. I put on through the right side for a single. Mike Aldrete hit into what looked like a double play but Brooks bobbled it and we were both safe. Unfortunately we were left there.

With one out and two on in the 8th, Nestor went to Scott Garrelts. He struck out the next two guys to get out of the jam.

We tied it up in the 9th when Bob Brenly led off with a single before moving to 2nd on a passed ball. Then Chris Brown singled, scoring Bob! Bobby Grich tried to bunt but popped it up. Jerry Mumphrey got a pinch hit double, moving Bobby to 3rd. Then it was my turn. They pulled Roger McDowell to bring in Ed Lynch to face me. I took the first pitch up the middle for a two run single! I moved to 2nd on the throw home. I went to 3rd on a groundout by Mikey and scored on a Chili Davis double.

Giants lead 6-3

Dennis Eckersley came in to close things out. Three batters later we had the win.

I made the highlight reel!

That is 8 wins in a row for us!

I went 2 for 5 with a pair of singles, two RBI, and a run scored.

After the game the team announced that Alan Cockrell was heading back to Phoenix. Scott Bradley was called up.

Scott and I share a birthday! He is 8 years older than me but we both spawned on March 22nd.
