June 1st, 1988

We are kicking off June with the Phillies and Kevin Gross (3-4, 3.86).

The Giants are pitching Bruce Ruffin (7-2, 2.62).

I have gone 3 for 25 vs Gross.

Things went sideways really fast. In the top of the 1st Juan Samuel hit a one out Grand Slam.

Phillies lead 4-0

I led off the home half by working a walk. I scored on a Mike Aldrete double. Chili Davis followed with a two run dinger.

Phillies lead 4-3

I led off the home 3rd by reaching on an error by Dwight Evans at 1st. I went to 2nd on a ground out by Mike. I stole #51 and scored when Ron Hassey threw it away. Making things happen!

Game tied 4-4

They got the lead right back when Samuel scored on a Bill Madlock sac fly in the 4th. Then Gary Templeton scored on a Hassey single. Nestor pulled Bruce for Frank Williams. He got out of the inning.

Phillies lead 6-4

In the 5th Evan scored on a Bo Jackson single. Jackson and Samuel scored on a Madlock single. Madlock scored on a Gross single (in more ways than one).
That was it for Frank. Nestor went to Mark Davis.

Phillies lead 10-4.

I came up with one out in the 5th and outran a dribbler for an infield single. Stolen base #52. Stolen base #53. I tried to run Mike's flyball into a sac fly but Tim Raines threw me out.

They kept at it in the 6th. Wayne Gross scored on a Templeton double.

Phillies lead 11-4

I came up with two out in the 7th and dropped in shallow left centre for a single. Stolen base #54. No more.

Mark Clear took over in the 8th. John Rabb and Tom O'Malley took over at 2B and 1B after pinch hitting.
I finally made a defensive play that frame, getting a Kevin Gross grounder for the 3rd out.

I then took a Jerry Royster grounder for the 1st out in the 9th.

In our last hacks, I came up with one out and Tom on 1st. Bob James was now pitching. I hit into a fielder's choice. Jerry Mumphrey got a pinch hit single, moving me to 2nd. Chili hit his 2nd homer of the night!

That was all we could get, though, and lost 11-7.

I went 2 for 4 with two singles, a walk, three runs scored, and FOUR stolen bases.

The Reds are only a half game back. We need to do better than that.
