March 19th, 1988

Willie Fraser and the Giants are facing Moose Haas and the Dodgers.

I get in on the action quickly, grabbing a grounder of the leaded man, Steve Sax, for the out.
The Dodgers got ton eh boar din the 1st, with Kent Hrbek scoring on a Tim Wallach double.

Dodgers lead 1-0

I led off the home half by grounding out to Wallach at 3rd. Haas had to leave after that. He was favouring his back. Tim Scott relieved and gave spa s ingle to Mike Aldrete and a home run to Chili Davis.

Giants lead 2-1

In the 2nd I started a Priske - Thompson - Aldrete double play to get Brian Harper and Dave Anderson. After that, though, Brian Deak scored on a double by Scott!

Game tied 2-2

I led off the bottom of the 3rd by dropping one into centre for a single. I stole 2nd (my 10th of the spring). I tried to score on a single by Mike but was thrown out by Harper.

In the 4th Candy Maldonado scored on a sac fly by Deak.

Dodgers lead 3-2

Goose Gossage came in to pitch for us in the 5th. An out and a single later and Gossage was out of the game - also due to back issues. (Later I heard that he said he would be fine.) Scott Service took over. We cleaned things up with a Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play.

I led off in the 5th, still facing Scott, and took a four pitch walk. One out later, new pitcher Larry McWilliams walked Chili. What next? Double steal! I scored on a sac fly by Robby Thompson.

Game tied 3-3

In the 6th Steve Stanicek scored on a groundout by pinch hitter Mackey Sasser. (He is here as an NRI.)
I was then lifted for a pinch hitter as well.

We ended up winning 5-4.

I went 1 for 2 with a single, a run scored, and two stolen bases.
My average is up to .186
