June 11th, 1987

We are home to face the Padres. They are pitching Ed Wojna (4-0, 2.19)

The Giants are going with Bruce Ruffin (8-3, 2.97).

I am 3 for 8 vs Wojna.

The Padres struck early, with Tony Gwynn scoring on a Kevin McReynolds single in the 1st.

Padres lead 1-0

I led off our half by striking out.

We tied it up in the 3rd when Bruce Ruffin, of all people, went deep with a solo homer! That was his first ever and we gave him the silent treatment.
I came up with one out following that and I grounded out to Glenn Hubbard at 2nd.

Game tied 1-1

The Padres got the led back in the 6th when Wojna crossed on a John Kruk single. We stopped another run with a Priske - Grich - Aldrete double play to get Kruk and McReynolds.

Padres lead 2-1

I came up with one out in the 6th and struck out.

We got another Priske - Grich - Aldrete double play in the 7th - this time we got Carmelo Martinez and Darrell Miller.

We never even got a 2nd hit until the 8th, but then we tied it up as Chris Brown scored on a Bobby Grich sac fly. I came up with two out and Alan Cockrell on 3rd. I flew out to McReynolds in left.

Game tied 2-2

Dennis Eckersley took over for us in the 9th. He got through that inning fine, but we went to extras and in the 10th Ozzie Guillen crossed on a single by pinch hitter Frank White. Then White sacred on a Mike Aldrete error!

Padres lead 4-2

Bottom of the 10th and we are in trouble. Lance McCullers is pitching for San Diego. Rob Deer struck out. Chris Borwn reaches on catcher's interference by Chris Bando, who just entered the game. Alan struck out. Down to our last out. Bobby Grich singles. Pinch hitter Scott Bradley singles. Bases loaded for me. I walk on four straight balls. Mike does the same. Chili Davis flies out.

This game is not over.

Game tied 4-4

Jeff Robinson takes over on the mound for us.

I came up in the 12th with one out and pinch hitter Tom O'Malley on 1st. Goose Gossage was pitching. I flew out to McReynolds again.

Mark Davis took over for us in the 13th.
He allowed a couple of base runners but a handled a Hubbard grounder to end the inning.

It finally ended with me standing on the on-deck circle. Pinch hitter John Rabb hit a walk-off sac fly to score Chris Brown and give us the 5-4 win.

I ended with an undeserved RBI, going 0 for 5 with a walk.
