May 2nd, 1988

The Cardinals are in town and they brought Danny Cox (2-2, 4.46).
The Giants are pitching Rick Sutcliffe (2-2, 1.60).

I have gone 8 for 28, or .286 against Cox.

I led off the home half by taking a changeup to the ribs. Stolen base #20. Then stolen base #21. But somehow I wasn't able to score.

I got the 2nd out in the 2nd on a fielder's choice grounder by Tom Herr.

Ruben Sierra led off the bottom of the 2nd with a home run!

Giants lead 1-0

I came up in the 3rd with none out and Rick on 1st. I was asked to bunt him over but instead I walked on five pitches. Mike Aldrete singled to load the bases. Chili Davis hit into a fielder's choice, eliminating Mike, but Rick scored and I went to 3rd. I scored on a Rob Deer groundout.

Giants lead 3-0

I got the 1st out in the 5th on a Herr grounder. I then got the 2nd out off a Tom Pagnozzi grounder and the 3rd off a Cox grounder. Busy inning!

I came up with one out in the 5th and I hit a clean single into centre. Stolen base #22. I was left there.

In the 6th Oddibe McDowell scored on an Andy Van Slyke groundout.

Giants lead 3-1

In our half Rob scored on a Bob Brenly double.

Giants lead 4-1

I got the 3rd out in the 7th off a Herr grounder.

I led off the bottom of the 7th by hitting another sharp single to centre. I was erased on a Mike Aldrete fielder's choice.

In the 8th McDowell scored on a Willie McGee double. Then McGee scored on a Van Slyke single.

Giants lead 4-3

Mark Davis came in to try to close it out in the 9th. He induced a liner to me from Terry Pendleton for the 1st out. He ended up giving up a single but that is it and we had the win.

I went 2 for 3 with two singles, a walk, a run scored, and three stolen bases.
