May 25th, 1987

The Mets are in town with Dwight Gooden (5-3, 2.57).

The Giants are going with Eric Show (3-4, 4.88).

I have gone 5 for 25 vs Gooden.

I got the last out of the first frame off a Darryl Strawberry grounder.

I led off the home half by grounding out to Kevin Mitchell at 3rd.

I got revenge by taking Mitchell's grounder for the 1st out in the 2nd.

I did the same in the 3rd on a Jim Dwyer grounder.

I led off the bottom of the 4th by collecting out first hit - a single up the middle. With one out I ran into a pitchout.

I came up with two out in the 6th and flew out to Lenny Dykstra in centre.

I got the 2nd out in the 8th off a Wally Backman grounder.
The Mets got the first run of the game as Dwyer scored on a Hubie Brooks single. I took a Dykstra grounder to end it.

Mets lead 1-0

I led off the 9th by grounding out back to Gooden.

In the end, my single was the ONLY hit we managed as Gooden through a one-hit shut out.

I went one for four with a caught stealing.
