March 3rd, 1988

It is my dad's birthday and hopefully we can have a good game for him.

Bruce Ruffin is pitching for the Giants against Erik Hanson and the Phillies.

I got the second out of the game, catching a pop up by Walt Weiss.
I then caught a liner from Bo Jackson for the 3rd.

I led off the home half by popping up to Alfredo Griffin at 2nd.
Mike Aldrete followed with a home run.

Giants lead 1-0

I made a nice play on a Mike LaValliere grounder for the 3rd out in the 2nd.

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by grounding out to Weiss at short.
But Mike walked and Ruben Sierra knocked a to run homer.

Giants lead 3-0

I took a grounder from Jackson for a fielder's choice, 2nd out in the 4th. I then handled a Von Hayes grounder for the 3rd out.

Scott Service took over on the mound in the 5th. he ended up allowing LaValliere to cross after a wild pitch and a passed ball.

Giants lead 3-1

I came up with one out in the 5th, now facing John Cerutti. I grounded out to Weiss again.

In the 7th LaValliere crossed on a Tim Raines double. Scott got the hook after that and Jim went to Mike Perez. He ended up giving up a three-run homer to Gralyn Engram.

Phillies lead 5-3

I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 7th.

We ended up losing 6-5.

I went 0 for 3. I have yet to get a hit this spring.
