Bruce Ruffin and the Giants are taking on Greg Harris and the Cardinals.

I led off the game by taking a walk. I stole 2nd. I scored on a Mike Aldrete triple. Mike then scored on a single by Chili Davis.

Giants lead 2-0

In the bottom of the 1st Lance Johnson scored on a single by Andy Van Slyke.

Giants lead 2-1

I came up with one out in the 2nd and lined one into centre for a single. This time I ran into a pitchout and was gunned down trying to steal.

In the 3rd Johnson sacred on a double by Van Slyke to tie the game. Then Van Slyke and Mike Marshall scored on a triple by Jose Uribe. Uribe scored on a double by Tom Herr.

Cardinals lead 5-2

Frank Williams took over on the mound for us in the 4th.
He ran into trouble right away as Johnson tripled and then scored on a single by Oddibe McDowell. McDowell scored on an error by Brian Giles. Marshall scored on a Herr double.

Cardinals lead 8-2

I came up with one out in the 5th, now facing Bob Kipper. I flew out to Van Slyke in right.

I made a pretty nice play for the last out int he 6th, taking a hit away from Marlin McPhail.

I left the game in the 7th.

We ended up losing 8-3.

I went 1 for 2 with a single, a walk, a run scored, a stolen base, and a caught stealing.
