Today the Phillies are pitching LaMarr Hoyt (3-3, 5.70).

The Giants are going with Bryan Hickerson (3-2, 4.22).

I have only faced Hoyt once, but I am 1 for 1!

I led off the bottom half by grounding it right back to Hoyt on the first pitch.

I got the 1st out in the 2nd off a Bo Jackson grounder.

In our half Chris Brown scored on an Alan Cockrell single.

Giants lead 1-0

I led off for us in the 3rd by striking out.
Chili went deep that inning!

Giants lead 2-0

In the 5th Juan Samuel scored on a Darren Daulton single. I grabbed a Hoyt grounder to end the inning.

Giants lead 2-1

I came up with two out in the 5th and punched one through the left side for a single. Stolen base #55 and an extra base when Dalton threw it away. I didn't get any further.

In the 6th I blew it, dropping an easy grounder to allow Dwight Evans to get aboard. Luckily they didn't get anything out of it.

In the 7th Chris scored on a single by Alan.
I came up with one out and Bobby Grich on 3rd and Alan on 2nd. I grounded out to Juan Samuel but Bobby scored.

Giants lead 4-1

Dennis Eckerlsey took over with two out and man on in the 8th. He stranded the runner. Then he got his three in the 9th for the game and save.

I went 1 for 4 with a single, RBI, stolen base... and an error.

Juan Samuel was on a 22 game hitting streak and Bryan ended it.
