May 18th, 1987

It is always great to get 'home', even when Montreal is far from my home town of Victoria, both literally and figuratively.

Unfortunately, we were rained out.

In Olympic Stadium.

I don't get it either.

It was good to see Kenny Oberkfell, who signed with the Expos this season.

May 19th, 1987

Now we are playing a double header!

The first game has The Giants have Doyle Alexander (6-1, 2.43) taking on the Expos and Scott Bankhead (2-6, 6.45).

I have gone 4 for 13 vs Bankhead.

I kicked off the game by striking out.

In the bottom half I was pivot on a Grich - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Jose Oquendo and Keith Moreland.

I got the 1st out in the bottom of the 3rd, taking a Chuck Jackson grounder. I then got the 3rd out, doing the same to Moreland.

I led off the 4th by grounding out to Oquendo at short.

In the home half Pedro Guerrero led off with a solo homer to open the scoring. I took another Jackson grounder to end the threat.

Expos lead 1-0

In the 6th I came up with two out and Chris Brown on 2nd. I flew out to Jackson in centre.

I got the last out in the 7th by handling a grounder by Oquendo.

We tied things up in the 8th when Bobby Grich slugged a two out homer!

Game tied 1-1

I led off the 9th, now facing Mitch Williams. I grounded out to Oquendo again.

Dennis Eckersley took over for us in the 9th. I took a Jackson grounder for the 3rd out to send us to extras.

Horrifyingly, I made what should have been the first out in the bottom of the 10th but threw the ball away for a two base error!
Thankfully I made up for it with a Priske - Grich - Aldrete double play to correct my mistake.

I came up with one out in the 11th. Jerry Mumphrey was on 1st and Mike Henneman was pitching. I hit into a fielder's choice to Kenny O at 3rd.
Stolen base #37, despite a pitchout. I was left.

Scott Garrelts took over on the mound for us.
I made a nice play to grab a liner from Larry Parrish for the 1st out. I then caught a soft pop by Rich Gedman for the 2nd. Kenny O damn near scored on a Tim Flannery single for the walk off win but Rob Deer gunned him down at the plate.

We got a couple in the 12th. First Child Davis scored on a double by Rob and then Rob scored on a single by Chris.

Giants lead 3-1

Scotty got all three guys in the bottom half and we had the first win of the day.

I went 0 for 5 with a stolen base and an error. Not my best game.

My batting average is down to .291
