February 29th, 1988

We are starting off on the leap day with Frank Viola leading the Giants against Mike Scott and the Astros.

I led off the game by flying out to Jim Dwyer in left.

My first play of the spring was starting a nice Priske - Wellman - Cockrell double play to get Bill Doran and Dwyer out.

In the 3rd we got the same two guys, but this time it was a Wellman - Priske - Cockrell double play.

I led off the 4th by grounding out to Dickie Thon at short.

I got the last out of the inning off a grounder by Dave Gallagher.

Frank Williams came in two pitch in the 5th, after Frank Viola did four scoreless. He allowed the bases to load up but I took a grounder from Harold Baines to end the threat.

I led off in the 6th against Mike Shelton and I managed a walk. With one out I stole 2nd and moved to 3rd when Craig Biggio threw the ball away trying to catch me. I was unable to score.

Mike Griffin took over pitching in the 6th after Frank gave up a single to Biggio with one out. I erased on Biggio on a fielder's choice by Gallagher.

Everything changed in the 7th, but I wasn't part of it. The guys scored five runs, mostly from the bevy of pinch hitters Nestor brought in. Mark Berry hit for me and then Alex Tavares played short.

That ended up being all the scoring an we won 5-0.

I went 0 for 2 with a walk and a stolen base.
