NLCS GAME THREE

With the series tied, we are back home in San Francisco.

The Mets are pitching Tim Leary (18-9, 3.36).

The Giants have Rick Sutcliffe (14-9, 3.56_.

I have limited action against Leary, going 2 for 7.

I got the 1st out of the game, scooping a Lenny Dykstra grounder.

I led off the home half by grounding out to Wally Backman at 2nd.

I took a Darryl Strawberry grounder for the 2nd out in the 3rd, but Dykstra scored on the play.

Mets lead 1-0

I led off the 4th by flying out to Greg Vaughn in left.

I led off again in the 6th. I flew out to Dyksrta in centre.

I returned the favour, handling a Dykstra grounder for the 3rd out in the 7th.

I then did the same to Backman for the 1st out in the 8th.

We FINALLY broke up the no-hitter in the 8th... and it was Rick Sutcliffe with the single! I came up with him on 1st and one out. I hit one into right for a single. Mike Aldrete followed me with a single and Rick scored! We had tied it up! Chili Davis, now facing Alejandro Pena, hit into a fielder's choice. I went to 3rd. Then Steve Stanicek blasted a three-run homer!

Giants lead 4-1!

Dennis Eckersley came in to pitch the 9th. I took a roundball from Kevin Mitchell, but I rushed the throw, giving Mitchell 2nd base on my throwing error! A ground out, a strikeout, and a Hubie Brooks grounder for me to make it up, and we had the win and the lead in the series!

Giants lead 2 games to 1!

I went 1 for 4 with a single, a run scored, and an error.
