August 29th, 1988

Today the Mets are pitching Sid Fernandez (13-6, 2.09).

The Giants have Eric Show (11-11, 3.79).

The Mets have no end of great pitchers.

I have gone 5 for 28 vs Sid.

I led off the bottom of the 1st by dropping one into short right for a single. With one out, stolen base #92. I was left.

I led off again in the 3rd but this time I struck out. Mike Aldrete, Chili Davis, and Steve Stanicek followed me with a home run, a single, and another home run.

Giants lead 3-0

I then came up with one out in the 4th and hit one off the right field wall for a double! Stolen base #93! I scored on a sac fly by Mikey.

Giants lead 4-0

The Mets cracked their goose egg in the 5th when I handled a grounder by Fernandez for the 2nd out, but Jim Dwyer scored on the play.

Giants lead 4-1

I next came up with two out in the 6th and I grounded out to Wally Backman at 2nd.

In the 8th Robby Thompson scored on a single by Chris Brown. I came up with two out and Chris on 2nd and Scott Bradley on 3rd. Clavin Sciraldi was pitching. I singled and scored both runners! I then moved to 2nd on a single by Mikey but we were both left.

Giants lead 7-1

Eric allowed a couple of baserunners in the 9th but none scored and we had the win.

I went 3 for 5 with a double, two singles, two RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases!
