June 28th, 1987

We are wrapping up against the Astros and they are pitching Bryn Smith (8-4, 2.27).

The Giants have Doyle Alexander (9-2, 3.06).

I have gone 2 for 11 vs Smith.

I led off the bottom half by legging out an infield single that went deep at 2nd. Stolen base #73. I moved to 3rd on a Mike Aldrete ground out and scored on a Chili Davis sac fly.

Giants lead 1-0

I got the 2nd out in the 2nd by taking a Craig Biggio grounder.

I came up with one out in the 3rd and grounded out to Karl Allaire at short.

We got another run in the 5th when Robby Thompson scored from 2nd on an Alan Cockrell single. I came up with two out and Alan on 2nd. I dropped one into right field, allowing Alan to score! Stolen base #74 AND 75! I was left.

Giants lead 3-0

We got out of the 6th with a nice Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Keith Hernandez and Harold Baines.

In the bottom half Chili scored on a Rob Deer sac fly.

Giants lead 4-0

I got the 1st out in the 7th off another Biggio grounder.

I came up with two out in the 7th and lined out to Jeffrey Leonard in left.

In the 8th Glenn Davis hit a pinch hit, two run homer.
I got the 1st out after that, taking a Bill Doran grounder.

Giants lead 4-2

Dennis Eckersley came in to shut things down in the 9th. He allowed a two out single but that was all, and we had the game.

Another solid game for me, going 2 for 4 with a pair of singles, a run, an RBI, and three stolen bases.

That was our fifth win in a row!

The Weekly Power Rankings came out and we are #1!

The Braves are coming to town tomorrow and we are hot, hot, hot!
